Two killed in Bourne crash

BOURNE – An early morning accident left two dead on MacArthur Blvd. in Bourne, according to police.



The accident occurred around 7:30 a.m. on Route 28 south in the vicinity of Clay Pond Road. Fire officials said one person was dead at the scene, and the other occupant died on his way to the hospital. Police are still on the scene and investigating the crash, and have not released the names of those involved or any details of the crash.




Police said the victims were driving a Honda Civic on Route 28 south when the crash occurred. The driver somehow lost control of the vehicle, flipped into the heavily-wooded median striking several trees and came to rest near the northbound lane.

The crash was witnessed by one of the victim’s cousins who was driving behind him, and all the men were part of the same work crew, according to police.

The medical examiner’s office arrived at the scene shortly before 9 a.m. and State Police called a crime scene unit to photograph the area.

A reporter at the scene said traffic on Route 28 north is backed up almost to the Otis Rotary.
