« CVS Caremark 3rd-quarter profit more than doubles | Today | State looking for its greenest hotels » November 1, 2007Victims, cause of Route 95 fatal remain unknownThe Massachusetts state police say they don’t know when the victims in yesterday’s fatal car crash will be identified. And until the Massachusetts medical examiner identifies the two victims, said State Trooper Eric Benson, the events leading up to the crash will remain a mystery. “Is this road rage? Is this racing? We don’t know,” he said. “There are only two people who can tell us that and they’re both dead.” Two cars that had been traveling at "extremely high speeds" collided, going off the road and up an embankment, exploding in flames yesterday at 11 a.m. The victims have only been described as a man and a woman. Both cars had Rhode Island license plates. Detective Timothy Cook Sr., one of the first officers on the scene, said some of the witness accounts he’s heard have lead him to believe the incident may have been between people who knew each other -- “road rage,” rather than racing. -- with archived reports from Journal staff writer Cynthia Needham

Mikki is wrong. There is a law in Rhode Island that mandates a fine for not keeping to the right(see below)on all roadways and that includes 95. I agree that it should be STRINGENTLY ENFORCED! Rhode Islanders need to learn how to drive properly. Those doomed cars wouldn't have been weaving in and out if there wasn't space to do it in.
§ 31-15-2 Slow traffic to right. – Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic, or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway. Violations of this section are subject to fines enumerated in § 31-41.1-4.
