RI woman killed in wrong-way crash in Somerset

An investigation is underway into a deadly wrong-way crash that happened in Somerset Thursday night, according to Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III.

 

Massachusetts State Police troopers were called to I-195 East shortly before 8 p.m. after receiving numerous 911 calls about a wrong-way driver who eventually caused a three-car crash.

 

The wrong-way driver, identified as Gail Lopes, 69, of Tiverton, was rushed to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

 

Quinn said the drivers of the other two vehicles, who were traveling in the correct direction, were brought to the hospital to be treated for injuries that aren’t life-threatening.
