Overview
- Late Saturday night a Ford Focus carrying three people left Chocolog Road, struck a utility pole and one 15-year-old Uxbridge High School student was ejected and later died at Rhode Island Hospital.
- Police confirmed there were three occupants in the car but have not released names or said whether the other two people were injured.
- The CEMLEC Accident Reconstruction Team is leading the active probe and police have not disclosed what caused the vehicle to leave the roadway.
- Uxbridge police closed the 680 block of Chocolog Road at the scene and asked anyone who witnessed the crash to call 508-278-7755, while requesting the community keep the victim’s family and school in their thoughts.
- Crash reconstruction typically examines factors such as restraint use, vehicle speed and the point of impact, and investigators will use those analyses to build a timeline and report on the causes once evidence is reviewed.
