    A woman died after she drove a pickup truck into the ocean off Hull’s Pemberton Point Sunday afternoon, according to police.

    Massachusetts State Police divers recovered her body hours after Hull Police and Fire responded to the scene at 180 Main St.

    State troopers assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the fatal incident.

    Hull Police, Fire and the Harbormaster at around 2:50 p.m. responded to Pemberton Point after they received multiple reports of a pickup truck and its operator driving onto the beach and into the water.
