25-year-old Rhode Island woman killed in crash being remembered as a hard worker who loved helping people

A Rhode Island woman killed in a crash Monday is being remembered as officials continue to investigate.

Yesterday afternoon, Cumberland Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services were dispatched to the area of 210 Pine Swamp Road for a motor vehicle collision with two fatalities.

Today, police confirmed that one of the victims is identified as 25-year-old Sara J. Laboissonniere of Cumberland. The other victim was also determined to be a female; however, confirmation of identity is still pending through the State of Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s office.

Police were also able to confirm that there was a motor vehicle hit-and-run crash to an attended vehicle that occurred moments earlier in the area of Pine Swamp Road and West Wrentham Road; approximately ½ mile west of the fatal crash site. The suspect vehicle of that crash fled the scene and ultimately was one of the vehicles involved in the double fatal collision.

It has been confirmed the suspect vehicle in the Pine Swamp/West Wrentham Road crash was not the vehicle being operated by Laboissonniere.

Determinations relative to the crash scene from the Rhode Island State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit are still pending.

Laboissonniere is being remembered today as a hard worker who loved people, especially helping them. She also loved physical fitness.
