Upon arrival at the scene, Officers found the drivers of each single occupant vehicle injured. One of the drivers, Robert R.

Members of the Yarmouth Fire Department provided emergency life support and transported him to Cape Cod Hospital where he was subsequently pronounced deceased. The two other operators, Juliette A. Moroney age 21 of 20 Powderhorn Way in Sandwich and Jacqueline R.
