Pawtucket man killed in Fall River crash

The Massachusetts State Police are still investigating a one-car accident Tuesday night in Fall River that killed a Pawtucket man.

Raymond A. Cochran, 57, of Pawtucket, was driving a 1998 Volvo station wagon on Route 24 North, and as he began to travel onto the ramp for Brayton Avenue, he lost control of the vehicle, according to a preliminary investigation by the state police.

The Volvo traveled off the left shoulder and struck the ramp’s left guardrail, then Cochran turned the Volvo hard to the right and the front of his vehicle crashed into the ramp’s right shoulder guardrail where it came to rest, according to the state police.

He was taken by ambulance to Saint Anne’s Hospital in Fall River and then transferred to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, the state police said.

The police say it's unknown if Cochran was wearing a seatbelt.
