State Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Oak Street in Foxboro

Yesterday, at approximately 10:50 a.m. troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Foxboro responded to a single-vehicle crash on Oak Street in Foxboro that resulted in one fatality.

Preliminary investigation by Lieutenant John Stuart indicates that Trooper Kevin Collins attempted to stop a 1998 Ford Taurus that was traveling at an excessive speed on Route 95 South in the area of Coney Street in Sharon (exit 10). The operator, 28 year-old Jorge Soriano of Boston, failed to stop and continued on Route 95 South taking the Mechanic Street off ramp (exit 8). The Ford turned onto Oak Street and continued past Webb Street where Trooper Collins witnessed an object being thrown from the vehicle by Soriano. In the area of 110 Oak Street Soriano lost control of the Ford, traveled off the left side of the roadway and collided into a tree. It is unknown if Soriano was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Soriano sustained fatal injures in the crash and was declared deceased at the scene. A subsequent search of the area located a small caliber handgun in the area 65 Oak Street at approximately 1:00 p.m. As a result of the continuing investigation, an undisclosed amount of what is believed to be a Class B substance and currency were found within the vehicle.

This crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The Massachusetts State Police K-9 Section, the Foxboro Fire Department, the Foxboro Police Department, and the Norfolk County State Police Detective Unit assisted troopers at the scene.

No further information is available at this time. Please do not call the barracks directly.
