“You were the best mom any son could have asked for”; Plymouth woman killed in highway crash being remembered
A Plymouth woman killed in a highway crash on Friday is being remembered.
According to Massachusetts State Police, shortly before 7:00 p.m., troopers from the State Police Bourne Barracks responded to a multiple-car, fatal crash at the base of the Sagamore Bridge on Route 6 west.
Preliminary information indicates that 19-year-old Paul Myers of Plymouth was driving in the left lane when he attempted to pass a vehicle in front of him illegally by shifting into the right lane. While attempting to change lanes, Myers’ vehicle did not have enough clearance and crashed into a Toyota Corolla already traveling in the right lane. As a result of the contact, the Toyota Corolla hit the curb and spun across the median and crashed into a car traveling in the opposite direction.
The head on collision resulted in the death of a 79-year-old woman, Martha Sheldon of Plymouth, who was the passenger of the Toyota Corolla, as well as serious injuries to the 83-year-old, male operator of the same vehicle, which is Martha’s husband, Brian.
Following the crash, Myers was taken into custody for suspected operating under the influence (drugs).
Sheldon’s son offered a touching tribute to his mother.
“To the best Mom in the world. I will miss you so much mom. I loved you with all my heart and I hope to see you on the other side. I cannot believe that my mom died tonight in a car accident. It is so sad and devastating that you were taken from us in a second. I cannot put into words how much I loved you. I will miss you with all my heart, and you were the best mom any son could have asked for. Loving, caring, thoughtful, and the best cook in the world. Also, just the nicest lady with the most honest heart and pure soul. God bless you mom. I love you so much and I will miss you so much. By the grace of God her husband Brian is still with us. I love you mom. I know you are reading this, and I will see you again when it’s my time.”
The crash remains under investigation.

The ties of friendship and affection that we knit together in life do not unravel in death. A very tragic end to a beautiful woman; her son’s tribute tells us so. Heartfelt condolences to her husband and son and all who knew her.
