None of the three was wearing a seat belt, but alcohol and speed were not thought to be involved, Maj. Joseph H. Tavares said. Back-seat passenger Joseph Paquette, 19, of Warwick, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in critical condition, Tavares said. As of 10:15 a.m., the hospital listed him in serious condition. The driver, Natalia R. Moretti, 19, of Zinnia Street in Warwick, and her front-seat passenger, Peter Carbone, 19, of Groton, Conn., were taken to Kent Hospital with minor injuries, Tavares said. -- Journal Staff Writer Zachary R. Mider The collision was at the intersection with Ocean Point Drive, where Post Road bends slightly. Inattention to the road may have played a role, though the investigation continues and Moretti has not been cited, Tavares said. It appears the open-top Jeep drifted and lost control after Moretti overcompensated, he said. None of the occupants was thrown from the vehicle, Tavares said.
