In Loving Memory of
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we remember and honor the life of 37-year-old Crystal Clementi of Leominster, whose life was tragically cut short in the early morning hours of February 20, 2026. Her passing has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
According to the Southborough Police Department, officers were dispatched at approximately 2:51 a.m. to Route 9 East, also known as Turnpike Road, in Southborough following multiple 911 calls reporting a serious motor vehicle collision. When first responders from the Southborough Police and Fire Departments arrived at the scene, they discovered two vehicles involved in what authorities believe was a head-on crash.
The devastating impact of the collision resulted in fatal injuries to Crystal, who was pronounced dead at the scene. In a matter of moments, a vibrant life was lost — a daughter, a loved one, a friend whose presence brought meaning and light to those around her.
The second driver, a 23-year-old woman from Bolton, was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries reported to be non-life-threatening. As investigations continue, the focus today remains on honoring Crystal’s life and remembering the person behind the tragic headlines.
The crash remains under active investigation by the Southborough Police Department, with assistance from the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (CEMLEC) Crash Reconstruction Team and the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office. Authorities are working diligently to determine the circumstances that led to the early morning collision, seeking answers that may bring clarity to a grieving family and community.
But beyond the details of that heartbreaking morning, Crystal Clementi’s story is one of life — of memories made, of love shared, and of moments that will never be forgotten.
At 37 years old, Crystal had built a life filled with connections and experiences. Those who knew her remember her smile, her kindness, and the way she carried herself with strength and warmth. She was someone who mattered deeply — to her family who cherished her, to friends who laughed with her, and to loved ones who leaned on her presence in both joyful and challenging times.
Her sudden passing serves as a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. In the quiet hours before dawn, everything changed for those who love her most. The shock of such a loss is immeasurable, and the grief that follows is profound.
To her family, we extend our deepest condolences. There are no words that can fully ease the sorrow of losing someone so suddenly. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you, in the memories you hold close, and in the legacy Crystal leaves behind. May her spirit live on in every shared story, every familiar song, and every quiet moment when her memory gently returns.
To the communities of Leominster and Southborough, may we come together in compassion and support. In times like these, unity and kindness become our greatest strengths.
Crystal’s life, though tragically shortened, will forever be remembered by those whose lives she touched. Her name will not be forgotten. Her love will not fade. Her memory will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her.
Rest peacefully, Crystal Clementi.
You are loved beyond words.
You are missed beyond measure.
