James Mello, 32, was driving a GMC sport utility vehicle east on Route 195 at about 2:20 a.m. when the vehicle began swerving, turned left into the median and rolled over into the wooded median, according to the Massachusetts State Police. Mello's passenger, a 24-year-old Acushnet woman, Angela Cores, was thrown from the vehicle, according to the state police. She died at 3:05 a.m. Sunday at Rhode Island Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Andrea Barbosa said. Mello had been trapped in the vehicle and needed to be extricated by emergency responders, according to the police. The state police planned to discuss the results of their investigation tomorrow with the district attorney’s office, Trooper Veronica Dalton said this morning. Dalton said “driver error” appeared to be the cause of the accident. The accident occurred west of Exit 3 in Swansea and caused the police to close the left lane of Route 195 East from the time of the accident until about 5:50 a.m. Posted by Kate Bramson CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
