State Police Searching For Dump Truck After Fatal Hit And Run In Wareham
WAREHAM (CBS) -- Mass. State Police are searching for the driver of a large construction dump truck that they believe left the scene of a deadly crash in Wareham.
A heavily damaged Nissan Titan pickup truck was found off the side of Interstate-195 east, just before the Route 28 exit around 4:45 a.m. Monday.
The 33-year-old Fall River man driving the pickup truck was transported to Tobey Hospital for minor injuries. His passenger, a 48-year-old man also from Fall River, was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to a statement from the Plymouth District Attorney's Office, the dump truck drove off immediately after the crash.
