Bristol County man facing list of charges, held without bail, after hit-and-run motorcycle crash results in serious injuries

WEST BRIDGEWATER — Chief Timothy Nixon reports that the West Bridgewater Police Department arrested and charged a Bristol County man following an investigation into a hit-and-run crash.

On Friday, at just before 2:15 p.m., West Bridgewater Police responded to a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of North Main and Matfield streets.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a motorcycle was operating erratically and passing vehicles on North Main Street when it collided with a truck that was exiting Matfield Street.

The motorcycle operator immediately fled the scene and could not be located at that time.

A passenger on the motorcycle sustained significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital in serious condition.

Through the investigative efforts of Sgt. Todd Cantalupo and Officers Gerard Julien-Suarez, Christopher Huyghe, and Stefano D’Emilia, the suspect was identified as 28-year-old Zachary Adomaitis of Raynham.

On Sunday, Officer D’Emilia arrested Adomaitis, who also had a warrant for his arrest out of Brockton District Court. Adomaitis was found to be in possession of cocaine.

He was charged with Possession of a Class B Drug, Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Personal Injury, Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended License, Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Attaching Wrong Plates to Conceal Identity, Uninsured Motor Vehicle, Marked Lanes Violation, Unregistered Motor Vehicle, and Motorcycle Passenger Violation (No Helmet).

Adomaitis was arraigned Monday in Brockton District Court and held without bail.
