Update: Pawtucket man killed in Foxboro crash ID'd

FOXBORO, Mass. – The state police this morning identified a 52-year-old Pawtucket man killed late yesterday afternoon in a three-car crash on Route 1 near Gillette Stadium.

Michael Leonard had been traveling north in a 2003 Hyundai sedan when a pickup truck spun into his lane after the truck was struck in a head-on collision, according to the state police.

The pickup truck, driven by Kelley Soucy, 32, of Woonsocket, had been stopped in the northbound left lane, attempting to turn across the southbound lane and into a parking lot, when a southbound van driven by John Lomasney Jr., 25, of Plainville, Mass., crossed into the northbound lanes and hit the pickup, according to the police.

Leonard had swerved from the left to the right lane to avoid a collision, but the impact of the first accident sent the pickup truck into the right lane, according to the police.

Leonard was taken to Norwood Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Massachusetts state police.

Both Soucy and Lomasney were brought to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro. Lomasney was treated for minor injuries and released last night, while Soucy remained hospitalized today in good condition, according to the hospital.
