Man Killed In Cape Cod Crash Had Just Visited Wife, Newborn In Hospital
COTUIT (CBS) – A man who died in a head-on crash in Cotuit early Saturday morning had just visited his wife and newborn baby in the hospital.
Kevin Quinn, 32, was hit by another car on Route 28. Police say a Toyota sedan crossed the center line and ran into Quinn's SUV head on.
Quinn was rushed to South Shore Hospital with severe injuries and later died. He was a Marine and spent two tours in Afghanistan, then came back to Mashpee to start a business and family.
"Just one of those guys who couldn't wait to start a family," said Rob Dinan, a friend of Quinn's.
"I immediately felt like someone hit me in the chest with a sledgehammer. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't fathom it. I couldn't wrap my head around it."
The driver of the other car, 22-year-old Mickey A. Rivera of Fall River, died instantly. His passenger, 24-year-old Jocelyn Goyette of New Bedford, was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries.
After hearing of Quinn's death, his friends set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $10,000. By Sunday night, the page had raised nearly $80,000.
"I know Kara and Logan, they're going to need all the help they can get for a long, long time," said Dinan.
The crash remains under investigation.
