Attleboro Car Accident Kills 2

Tim Martin

Traffic on Route 95 North at the Massachusetts line was backed up for about an hour and a half Saturday night after a deadly two-car accident.

Massachusetts State Police say that at about 5:30pm a Ford Explorer operated by 23 year-old Jessica Ebert from Attleboro hit a car driven by 18 year-old Jennifer Poissant from Pawtucket. The Explorer rolled over, killing 30 year-old Matthew Kercado from Taunton and a still-unidentified three year-old.

Ebert, 40 year-old Christopher Ebert, 42 year-old Heather Kercado and a 14 month-old were all transported to area hospitals.

Poissant's car ended up in the woods but she was not hurt.

The crash remains under investigation.

Thats my family you are talking about. Matty is my cousin and like my brother and Jeniya is my baby cousin and getting this news while I was in afghanastan crushed me. To the rest of the Ebert- Kercado family I love you all and stay strong through these hard times. Never take any relationship you have for granted beacause before you even know it its gone. Ill never get to grab Matty or Jeniya again and tell them how much I love them but I pray they can hear me from Heaven.

I know Jessica, mother and some family members from back in the day and it hurts to see she lost her daughter as I am a mother myself I know what it is to love a child thats your own. The loss of a child/ sibling I cannot relate to but I feel for her. God Bless the family in their time of need and Prayers go out to all with deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to this family. I was a close friend of Mattys from RIC - He will be truely missed. It is always a lot harder when a young person loses their life so short - in a complete accident. My prayers go out to the family members that are still remained in the hospital.

I was driving on 95S when it occured and I want to assure the family members that even though I witnessed this private, tragic moment in their lives, the shock and grief I felt was not that of a stranger. My heart and prayers, as well as those of my community at St. Thomas's Espicopal Church in New Haven are with all of you.
