Update: Coventry man, killed in car crash, ID'd

A Coventry man driving to work was killed yesterday morning when his car crashed off Route 95 in East Greenwich, the state police said today.

James Madigan, 22, was on his way to his job at a fast-food restaurant in North Kingstown when his Hyundai drove off the highway just north of Exit 7 in East Greenwich, said state police Capt. James Swanberg. The car drove down the embankment and into some trees, where it rolled over, Swanberg said.

Madigan was not wearing a seat belt, and he was partially thrown from the car, Swanberg said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Accident reconstruction investigators from the state police are still determining the cause of the crash.
