34-year-old Fall River man dies from injuries sustained in Route 24 crash

Massachusetts State Police responded Tuesday morning to a fatal highway crash.

At just before 7:30 a.m., Troopers responded to Route 24 Southbound at mile marker 5 for a serious motor vehicle crash.

Upon arrival, crews located a driver trapped in the vehicle.

34-year-old Christopher Fernandes of Fall River was the victim of the crash.

Someone who knew Fernandes told Fall River Reporter the type of person he was.

“I have known Christopher since he was a kid. He always knew how to make everybody laugh. He was a loving, caring, son, father, brother. Was very family oriented. Wanted everybody to be their best version of themselves. He just had a big heart unfortunately, what happened to him was tragic and yes, I know his family is hurting right now along with the rest of us, but if that kid could do anything to brighten up your day or make you feel better or anything he would try his best always.”

Massachusetts Department of Transportation reported that the right lane was closed while crews worked the scene.

Massachusetts State Police have not released any further details concerning the crash.
