Victim identified after fatal crash in Somerset

A Somerset man was killed in a crash on Route 195 in Somerset, according to Massachusetts State Police.

The crash happened on Route 195 eastbound in Somerset around 12:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

The preliminary investigation shows that 66-year-old Somerset native Delton Pacheco's car was broken down in the acceleration lane, and Pacheco was in front of his car with the hood up.

A 60-year-old Swansea woman then drove into the back of Pacheco's car, pushing it into him and forcing the car into a ditch on the right side of the road. The woman's car ended up in the right and middle lanes of the highway.
