A 22-year-old Rhode Island man died and a woman suffered serious injuries early this morning in a single-car crash on southbound Interstate 495 in Raynham, State Police reported. A preliminary investigation found that speed may have been a factor in the wreck, and that neither occupants of the car were wearing seat belts.
The 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio was heading south near Exit 7A at about 2 a.m. when it swerved off the road, hit a highway sign, bounced back across all three lanes of travel, and rolled over. A man and a woman were both thrown from the car. Police said it has not yet been determined who was driving.
The man, John W. Hetu, of Pawtucket, died at the scene. The woman, Abby M. Carnello, 19, of Middleboro, was rushed to Morton Hospital and then flown to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The crash remains under investigation.
