Narrative
BARRINGTON, RI – A 34-year-old motorcyclist died last Thursday night after crashing his bike along a busy roadway near the Rhode Island and Massachusetts border.
The accident happened just after 10 p.m. on Barneyville Road just north of Sowams Road, which is near Prickly Ed’s nursery.
The investigation indicates that the driver, identified as Michael Dumont, veered off of the roadway and crashed into a large rock. Medics attempted CPR, but the man died after transport to a local hospital.
Police think that speed may have been a primary factor in the accident.
A full investigation is underway.
