A woman has died from her injuries after crashing her car on her 65th birthday last week, authorities in Western Massachusetts said.

The woman's parents were also hurt in the single-car crash in Shelburne, the Northwestern District Attorney's Office said Thursday.

State and local police continued investigating what led to the crash.

Woodcock had been the principal of Greenfield High School, according to the Greenfield Recorder.
