The identities of the two people killed in a serious crash on Route 6 near the Westport-Dartmouth line Friday evening have been released.
The two that died are 34-year-old Tristan Bedient of Acushnet and 51-year-old Kate Aldrich of New Bedford, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
The DA’s office says Dartmouth and Westport police responded to the scene of a motor vehicle crash involving two sedans, one with “catastrophic” damage. The male driver of a Toyota Camry, Bedient, and female passenger, Aldrich, were taken to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The driver and passenger of the second car, a SAAB, had non-life-threatening injuries.
Dartmouth police said Route 6 between Highland Avenue and Route 177 will be completely impassable for a significant amount of time as Dartmouth, Westport, and Massachusetts State Police continue their investigation.
