State Police Investigate Serious Crash on Route 6 East in Yarmouth

Yesterday at approximately 7:10 PM Troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Yarmouth responded to a one-vehicle crash on Route 6 East in Yarmouth approximately one-half mile east of Exit 7 that resulted in serious injury.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Bruce Buckley indicates that a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee operated by Jamie Frazee , age 29 of Dennis, Massachusetts, was traveling east on Route 6 when it lost control, left the roadway and entered a wooded area. The vehicle had rolled over and, when State Police arrived, was engulfed in flames. Trooper Buckley and three passers-by were able to free Frazee, who was trapped inside the vehicle. They proceeded to pull Frazee to safety through the vehicle's roof. Frazee was subsequently transported to Cape Cod Hospital with serious injuries. State Police received information at the scene that there may be a second victim, and a search was conducted of the area with assistance from the State Police Airwing and the Yarmouth Police K-9 Unit. No other victims were located.

This crash remains under investigation by State Police. The Yarmouth Police and Fire Departments assisted Troopers at the scene.

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