HOLYOKE, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - An investigation is ongoing after a motorcycle crash left one man dead Monday in Holyoke. Friends and family have identified the victim of that crash is William Brunault. Holyoke Police said they responded to the Lyman and North Bridge Street area just before 3:00 in the afternoon.

Officials say the man riding the motorcycle was taken to the hospital, where he later died. On Tuesday, we spoke with Bobbie Kelley of South Hadley who has been friends with Brunault for about 34 years.

“I think one of the main things that I remember most about him was he was very caring, and he was probably the main person to tell you when we were leaving any place was to be careful. He would tell everyone to give them a hug and tell them to be careful riding home. Said Kelly.
