A rider has died from injuries sustained in a local highway motorcycle crash that took place this week.
According to Police Chief Matthew Perkins, the Lakeville Police and Fire Departments responded to a location on Route 18 in Lakeville at just before 6:30 p.m. Monday for a report of a motorcycle crashing into another vehicle.
Upon arrival, Lakeville police officers and firefighters located a Yamaha motorcycle that had crashed into a Honda CRV. The operators of both, who were the sole occupants of each vehicle, were seriously injured. The man operating the motorcycle and woman operating the CRV, were taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton by Lakeville Fire ambulances.
The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office told Fall River Reporter on Friday that a 24-year-old male on the motorcycle was killed. He is not being identified at this time pending notification of next of kin.
The crash is under investigation by the Lakeville Police Department with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
Mutual aid at the scene was provided by the Middleborough Police Department and units from the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office.
