A tragic accident in Wareham, Massachusetts, claimed the lives of two young men on Saturday night. Robert Stalker, a 17-year-old from Woburn, and Brady Petrucci, a 20-year-old from Raynham, were riding a dirt bike without helmets when they collided with an SUV. Both victims sustained serious injuries and were pronounced dead upon arrival at Tobey Hospital in Wareham.
According to Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz, the crash occurred at around 10:52 p.m. Reports of the incident were received by Wareham Police through two separate 911 calls. Authorities discovered the victims lying unresponsive in the roadway when they arrived at the scene.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the dirt bike, a Kawasaki, crashed into a 2017 Buick Envision that was making a left turn onto Gibbs Road from Marion Road. It was determined that the dirt bike did not have any front or rear lights. The driver of the Buick immediately stopped following the collision.
Massachusetts State Police assigned to Cruz’s office and Wareham Police are currently conducting an investigation into the crash. Further details surrounding the incident have yet to be released.
This tragic accident serves as a reminder of the importance of wearing helmets and practicing safe driving habits. Motorcyclists, especially those on dirt bikes, should prioritize their safety by wearing protective gear and ensuring their vehicles are equipped with proper lighting. Additionally, drivers must remain alert and cautious of their surroundings to prevent such accidents from occurring.
