TAUNTON, MA – Two people lost their lives after a car crashed into the Taunton River on Monday, CBS News said.
Bristol County District Attorney Tom Quinn told the source that a 911 caller said a driver was traveling at a high rate of speed on Winthrop Street when they lost control of their vehicle and crashed into a guardrail and utility pole.
The car crashed into the Three Mile River.
A search and rescue diving team was dispatched to the scene and went into the water and located a White Nissan Maxima and one person who died from his injuries. Officials have identified him as 24-year-old Alec Ardita, a Taunton local.
