The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office has released details of the initial investigation into the motorcycle crash that killed a Fall River man.

According to Gregg Miliote of the BCDAO, a motorcycle being driven by 46-year-old Christopher Raposo, reportedly drove through a stop sign at the intersection of Elm and Main Streets in Dighton at approximately 9:20 p.m. and struck the passenger side of a black Subaru station wagon.

Raposo was ejected off of his seat and landed near the intersection. First responders determined him deceased on scene.

The driver of the Subaru, a 48-year-old man, was transported to Morton Hospital in Taunton for treatment of minor injuries.

The investigation is ongoing, but Miliote stated that charges are unlikely.
