He was transported to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence with serious injuries; however, his condition remains unclear as of Sunday afternoon.
State Police detectives from the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office are conducting an investigation into the crash. Details regarding potential charges related to the incident have not been disclosed.
