Following the accident, one of the vehicles involved rolled onto its side. Although an NBC 10 news crew reported visible damage to the front ends of both vehicles, it was confirmed that only minor injuries were sustained by those involved in the crash.
Earlier in the weekend, on Friday around 4 p.m., a separate incident involving a 13-year-old boy occurred on South Clarendon Street. The boy, riding a moped, failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a vehicle on Laurens Street. He sustained injuries to his wrist and leg and was subsequently transported to Hasbro Children’s Hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported for the driver of the vehicle he collided with.
Additionally, an 18-year-old man from Cumberland, Rhode Island, lost his life in a tragic crash late Friday night in Trumbull, Connecticut.

The deceased was identified as Timothy Campbell, who was a rear-seat passenger in the BMW X5. The driver and two other passengers in the vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were treated. No injuries were reported from the occupants of the BMW X1. As a result of the crash, Route 25 South was closed for several hours as officials conducted an investigation, with the Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Squad involved in examining the circumstances surrounding the incident.
