from ABC news
A tornado outbreak caused damage across Western Massachusetts Wednesday afternoon, including one that crossed the Connecticut River from West Springfield into the city's downtown and South End, crossing the Connecticut River and Interstate 91.

At least four people have died. Governor Deval Patrick told the Associated Press that one person was killed in West Springfield, two in Westfield, and one in Brimfield.

Jane Albert of Baystate Medical Center told 22News that the hospital is caring for 25 people who are injured, 10 of whom are in the trauma unit. There are at least 20 other reports of injuries.

Governor Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency, and 1,000 National Guard troops are headed to affected areas. Patrick, along with Mayor Domenic Sarno and Senator John Kerry, will appear at a news conference at 11:00 P.M.
