Lincoln man died in tractor-trailer crash in Westport

WESTPORT, Mass. — The state police have identified the truck driver killed in a tractor-trailer accident yesterday as a Lincoln man.

Rafael C. Guevarez, 45, of Lincoln, died soon after his 1997 Peterbilt tractor-trailer drifted into the breakdown lane of Route 195 at about 11:15 a.m. and hit the back of another tractor-trailer that was stopped with its emergency lights flashing.

The driver of the other truck, William E. Dupuis, of Onset, was not injured.

Guevarez' trailer went out of control and rolled over into the median, causing hours of traffic delays.

Guevarez was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.
