Fall River man seriously hurt in Rehoboth crash

REHOBOTH, Mass. -- A 27-year-old Fall River man was airlifted to a hospital early this morning overnight after his 2006 Ford Escape slammed into a tree on Route 195.

The state police said Jared Pelletier had serious injuries from the crash that happened about 1:50 a.m. near exit 2, according to the state police.

Preliminary investigation found that the car driven by Pelletier and a 1995 Plymouth Voyager driven by Craig Debartolo, 19, of Fall River were each traveling west on Route 195, said Sgt. David Paine, a spokesman for Massachusetts State Police.

The two vehicles made contact, the police said, causing Pelletier to lose control of the Escape, which went off the right side of the road and struck a tree. Pelletier was trapped in the vehicle, according to the police, but Swansea and Rehoboth firefighters used an extrication tool to remove him.
