The crash that the suspect is getting charged for killed a 37-year-old man, Scott A. Lewis of South Easton. The police said that the collision happened on Sunday, April 26th. At approximately 1:50 p.m., they responded to a head-on collision report on 539 Bay Road.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found that a Kia Rio driven by Lewis had collided with a Cadillac Escalade driven by McCabe. The former died and was pronounced dead at the scene while the medics took the latter to Boston Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
The District Attorney said that the case against the suspect would get set down for a clerk’s hearing through the Taunton District Court at an undisclosed date. The accident remains under investigation, and the DA would announce if there will be additional charges at a later date.
Vehicular homicide is a severe offense in Massachusetts, and offenders upon conviction face time in prison. Those facing this charge should consult a top accident lawyer for legal advice and defense.
