Groff, 29, of West Warwick, and Melissa Gauthier, 32, of Cumberland, according to a state police report. Groff was driving a black 2008 Nissan Altima and Gauthier was driving a 1998 Honda sedan. The crash happened near exit 4 on Route 95 north. Reports suggested the drivers may have been racing when their cars collided at extreme speeds on northbound Route 295, going off the road and up an embankment. The cars crashed, exploding in flames. Both vehicles had Rhode Island license plates. An Attleboro police detective said last night there was a possibility the pair knew one another and may have been involved in a road-rage style chase. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

Where it says,
"An Attleboro police detective said last night there was a possibility the pair knew one another and may have been involved in a road-rage style chase."
should read "or" instead of, "and." I believe the authorities are not sure if this was a road rage situation OR these people knew each other and had been racing for thrills.
