Teen Dies After Car Crashes Into Ocean
FALMOUTH (WBZ) ―
A teen is dead after the car he was driving in ran off the road, flipped over and landed in the ocean in Falmouth early Sunday morning.
It appears the car had crashed at the intersection of Maravista Avenue and Menhant Road, police said. One of the teens, Ryan Fahey, 17, was able to get out of the car and run to a nearby home to ask for help.
Joshua Lopes, 18, was trapped in the car submerged in the ocean water.
Once at the scene, two officers jumped into the water to pull Lopes to safety. Lopes, who was unresponsive when police pulled him ashore, was rushed to Falmouth Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
