LONG ISLAND, Maine — A Massachusetts woman is dead after becoming pinned between two vehicles on Long Island Monday night.

Shortly after 8 p.m., Cumberland County deputies responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash in the area of 1106 Island Avenue on Long Island, the sheriff's office said in a news release. Long Island Fire & Rescue also responded.

Deputies said a 21-year-old woman was pinned between two vehicles and as a result, died at the scene.

"Early investigation indicated that motor vehicle defects were a contributing factor," the release said. "It appears that the 1998 Ford Ranger began to roll from a parked position. The victim was attempting to stop the vehicle from moving and was pinned when it struck the other vehicle."

The other vehicle involved in the incident was a 2004 Ford Ranger. Both vehicles were unoccupied at the time of the crash, deputies said.

The woman who died in the incident was identified as Alyssa Fluet, of Methuen, Massachusetts.
