Massachusetts man killed in crash on Route 95 remembered for sense of humor, being there for loved ones

The Massachusetts State Police have released the name of the victim in a single-vehicle crash that resulted in a fatality on Route 95 in Canton.

According to Brandon Doherty of Massachusetts State Police, preliminary investigation by Troopers assigned to the State Police-Foxboro Barracks indicates that at approximately 5:00 a.m. on April 8th, a 2020 Toyota Tundra, which was southbound at a high rate of speed attempted to changed lanes. The driver and lone occupant, an adult male, lost control of the vehicle. The Tundra struck the guardrail and entered the center median. The driver was ejected and determined to be deceased on scene.

Trooper James DeAngelis told Fall River Reporter that the deceased in the crash has been identified as 34-year-old Miguel Rodrigues of Braintree.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash. The investigation into the crash is ongoing and is being conducted by Troop H of the Massachusetts State Police, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Norfolk County.

According to friends and family, Miguel was always there for his loved ones and had an infectious laugh and sense of humor.

“He would be the first one you’d call, knowing he would never hesitate to do whatever was needed.”

Miguel loved cars and motorcycles which has led to a meet-up being organized through Boston before ending at the Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock St., Quincy, on Sunday, April 16, where his visitation will take place from noon to 6 p.m.
