A Plymouth man is facing charges in connection with a deadly crash at the base of the Sagamore Bridge.

The Friday night accident on the mainland side of the bridge claimed the life of a 79-year-old woman and sent an 83-year-old man to the hospital with serious injuries. 

According to the preliminary investigation, Massachusetts State Police say 19-year-old Paul Myers was illegally trying to pass a vehicle when it collided with the car carrying the victims.  Myers has been charged with operating under the influence of drugs.
