A fifth person has died from a crash earlier this month at Lynnway Auto Auction in Billerica, Mass.

In a statement released on Saturday evening, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Billerica Chief of Police Daniel Rosa said Ruben Espaillat, 55, died Saturday at Lahey Hospital.

The DA’s office, Billerica Police and the Massachusetts State Police CARS unit continue to investigate the crash, according to officials.

The fatal vehicle crash at the auction occurred the morning of May 3.

The DA’s office indicated that a male Lynnway Auto Auction employee in his 70s was driving a 2006 Jeep at 10:13 a.m. (ET) during the auction's weekly sale when the vehicle accelerated through a wall at the auction and hit multiple people. 

Brenda Lopez, 48, and Pantaleon Santos, 49, were pronounced dead at the scene. Leezandra Aponte, 36, died from her injuries after being transported to a local hospital.

Last Wednesday, the DA and Billerica Chief of Police said that Elliott Rowlands Jr., 50, who had remained hospitalized, died at Lahey Clinic following injuries from the crash.
