School Identifies Dennis-Yarmouth Senior Among Two Teens Killed on Route 140 in New Bedford

Authorities say the probe remains open, with formal identifications pending and any charging decision not yet announced.

Overview

  • School officials named the student as Gabriel Siqueira, a Dennis–Yarmouth senior and varsity soccer player.
  • Troopers responded just before 2 a.m. to a single-vehicle crash on southbound Route 140 and found the car in a wooded area.
  • A 17-year-old boy from West Yarmouth died at the scene and a 15-year-old girl died at a hospital after both were ejected.
  • The 18-year-old driver from Dartmouth was hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
  • Investigators have not released a cause or said whether charges will follow, and Dennis–Yarmouth is offering counseling for students and staff this week.
