10-year-old boy dies after accident in Plainville – Telemundo New England

A child has died after a crash that also left several people injured in Plainville, Massachusetts, on Saturday night.

Massachusetts State Police responded to the crash at the intersection of Route 1 and 495 shortly after 10 p.m.

Authorities say they were working at the Kenny Chesney concert at Gillette Stadium before responding to the scene.

According to police, Michael Escolas, 42, of Oxford, was speeding southbound on Route 1 in a Jeep Grand Cherokee that was allegedly stolen from the Gillette Stadium parking lot.

Escolas then rear-ended a Nissan Altima occupied by a couple and their four children at a red light. They were all taken to the hospital where the 10-year-old boy was later pronounced dead, according to authorities.

According to police, Escolas was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and taken to a nearby hospital.

The accident closed the intersection for a few hours before it reopened.

State police have offered their condolences to the family and have kept their identities confidential.

The accident is under investigation.
