Foxborough Man Killed in Fatal Mansfield Road Rage Incident

A Foxborough man has died after a road rage incident that took place on Route 495 in Mansfield.

At around 10:53 a.m. Monday morning, local and state police responded to a reported rollover on the highway. According to a preliminary investigation by the Massachusetts State Police, Jarrad Aronne, 37 of Foxborough and Michael Hinds of Norton, the drivers of a 2007 Chevrolet 2500 pickup and a 2007 Ford Ranger pickup became involved in a “road rage”-type incident as they traveled on Route 495 North.

Hinds allegedly made intentional contact with the other vehicle. After the collision, both vehicles used the exit 12 ramp to Route 140 and a second collision occurred, causing the Chevrolet 2500 to rollover on the ramp.

Aronne was pronounced dead at the scene while his passenger was partially ejected from the vehicle. The injured party, also from Foxborough, was flown to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries.

A witness at the scene was able to identify Hinds’ vehicle, which fled the scene. After Mansfield police sent the vehicle’s description to local police departments, officers in Norton were able to locate the car, conduct a traffic stop, and arrest the suspect.

Hinds is being held on $200,000 bail and will be arraigned in Attleboro District Court Tuesday morning.
