Loved ones remember Fall River man, New Bedford woman, killed in Raynham crash as online fundraisers created

Two local people killed in a crash on Monday night are being remembered.

According to police, on Monday, at just before 9:30 p.m., 911 operators received a call about a one-car crash on East Britannia Street, near Thrasher Street. Upon arrival, emergency crews discovered a 2017 Hyundai Elantra leaning up against a tree. A preliminary investigation reveals the vehicle went airborne before hitting the tree.

The driver, 26-year-old Averi Costa-Burton of Fall River, was ejected from the vehicle. Two passengers remained in the vehicle: 28-year-old Dorryn Robinson of New Bedford, and a 25-year-old man from Fall River.

The female passenger, Robinson, was pronounced dead at the scene. The operator, Costa-Burton, was transported to Morton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The 25-year-old man from Fall River, who was sitting in the back seat, was transported by medical helicopter to Rhode Island Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

According to a GoFundMe fundraiser, “Averi had a contagious smile that would brighten anyone’s day. To know him is to love him; he would give anyone the shirt off his back. He enjoyed spending quality time with his cousins and many friends.”

A GoFundMe fundraiser stated that Robinson had a “beautiful soul, infectious personality, and let’s not forget about her dance moves and TikToks. She lit up every room!”

Services have yet to be announced, and the crash is still under investigation.
