A woman and her three children suffered a scary crash today in Fall River, Massachusetts. The accident occurred in the middle of the afternoon at the intersection of Walnut Street and Danforth Street. At that time, the woman was traveling down the street as normal, when suddenly she lost control of her vehicle. As the car continued to spin out of control, it ended up going through a metal fence. However, it did not stop there. It then crashed into the side of the Apollo Safety building at the corner of Walnut.

Fall River Hit and Run Leaves One Dead

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

A hit and run Thursday morning in Fall River, Massachusetts left one person dead. 29 year old Christopher Mills on Taunton was driving a motorcycle north on Highland Avenue. That is when a box truck, driven by 37 year old Ivan Dominguez, attempted to make a turn onto Courtney Street. Dominguez’s truck collided with the motorcycle, leaving Mills with serious injuries. He was transported to a hospital and later died.

Dominguez fled the scene of the accident. Accident reconstruction later showed a 25-30 foot path of skid marks where Mills attempted to stop before contacting the box truck, indicating that the truck made an unsafe turn. Dominguez was later located by police and arrested at his home, where he has been charged with fatal hit and run. The accident remains under further investigation.
