Warwick crash victim ID'd as East Providence man, 42

WARWICK -- The police have released the name of the 42-year-old man who died Friday when he crashed his van head-on into an oak tree near Goddard Memorial State Park.

The driver, Jerome Hagy, of East Providence, was alone in the car when it crashed at about 9:45 a.m., Lt. Mark Brandreth said.

The head of the traffic division, Lt. Thomas Snow, said investigators still do not know why he drove his blue 1991 Dodge van into the large oak tree.

Results from an autopsy performed Saturday have not been released.
