Rehoboth Teen Identified as Victim in Fatal Berkley Rollover

BERKLEY (WBSM) — A 16-year-old Rehoboth boy was killed in the rollover crash that occurred in Berkley early this morning, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office announced Sunday evening.

Dylan Quinn died as a result of injuries suffered in that crash, the D.A.’s Office said. The crash occurred at about 7:30 a.m. in the area of 76 Myricks Street.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Quinn was the passenger in a Mazda pickup driven by another 16-year-old boy. The D.A.’s Office said the two had just left a nearby Dunkin’ and were en route back to the driver’s home when the truck struck a telephone pole and a tree before rolling over and coming to rest in the middle of the roadway.

Once first responders arrived on the scene, Quinn was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was pronounced deceased. The driver was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening.

The D.A.’s Office said the investigation into the crash is ongoing.
