Two brothers from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, were driving Friday night when their car was involved in an accident in East Providence, leaving one dead and the other critically injured. The driver of the other car was also injured.
East Providence police say they responded just before 8 p.m. to reports of a serious car crash on Pawtucket Avenue near the intersection of Caitlin Avenue and found a Subaru in the road and a Nissan on the front lawn of a residence, very close to the front of the house on Pawtucket Avenue.
Two drivers and a passenger were taken to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment, police said.
The Nissan passenger, identified as 24-year-old Jacob Crenshaw, died at the hospital. His older brother, Andrew Crenshaw, 27, suffered serious injuries and is in critical condition, police said.
The Subaru driver, a 22-year-old from Providence, is in stable condition, police said. This name has not been published.
According to police, a preliminary investigation and witness reports indicate that speed was a factor in the fatal crash. Police have not said which car was speeding, or if both were.
No charges have been filed at this time.
An investigation by the East Providence Police Department is ongoing.
