Pascoag woman ID'd as victim of fatal Burrillville crash

The police this morning identified the woman who died in the fatal crash in Burrillville last evening as Pascoag resident Teresa A. Goulet.

Goulet, 36, lived at 36 Pleasant St., a home she purchased in 2004, according to town records.

An autopsy is scheduled for this morning at the state medical examiner’s office.

The crash remains under investigation, with the police still working on the accident reconstruction, according to Lt. Kevin S. San Antonio.

The preliminary investigation shows that Goulet was traveling west on Route 107 (Chapel Street) in a 1998 Toyota when her car crossed the center line and collided with a 1977 Chevrolet van heading east, according to San Antonio.

Goulet was taken to Rhode Island Hospital after the crash, which happened between River Street and Railroad Avenue around 5:33 p.m. She died at the hospital, according to San Antonio.

The only person in her car at the time of the crash, Goulet was not wearing a seatbelt, the police said.

The other driver, identified this morning as Francis E. Farrell of Harrisville, was treated and released from Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket. Farrell, 75, of 1001 Sherman Farm Rd., was the only person in his van at the time of the crash, according to the police.

One witness reported to the police that the “white car” – Goulet’s – crossed the travel lane and hit the van, San Antonio said this morning.
