“The investigation by State Police indicates that Dalto became distracted as a result of his own actions while driving eastbound on Route 6, causing him to lose control of his Ford 350 pickup and travel through the median, exiting on the westbound side. There, Dalto’s pickup struck a Honda Accord being operated westbound by Mr. Barrows,” said State Police.
State Police in the Bourne Barracks were assisted by the State Police Crime Scene Services Section and the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
