On April 20, police responded to multiple calls around 5:40 p.m. for a two-car crash on South Main Street in the village of Assonet and found both vehicles with heavy damage. The driver of the Acura TX, identified as Flores, was stuck in his vehicle and had to be freed by firefighters. The other driver, behind the wheel of a Plymouth Roadrunner, was a 68-year-old man who sustained life-threatening injuries. Both drivers were rushed to St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford.
Investigators said at the time that they believed Flores had crossed into oncoming traffic at a high rate of speed and hit the Roadrunner head-on. There was initially no word on the cause of the crash.
