WAREHAM, Mass. (WPRI) — An Attleboro man was killed in a motorcycle crash in Wareham Thursday evening, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz.

Matthew Burns, 49, was riding his motorcycle northbound down Cranberry Highway when Cruz said he lost control, veered into the southbound lane and was hit by an oncoming car.

Despite life-saving efforts by first responders, Burns was pronounced dead at the scene.

Burns was riding alongside three other motorcyclists at the time of the crash. Cruz said one of those motorcyclist suffered minor injuries.

The woman driving the vehicle involved, who Cruz said was also injured in the crash, told investigators Burns lost control on a bend in the highway and she could not avoid hitting him.
