An East Providence man was killed in an early morning car crash in that city. Daniel Lopes, 23, crashed into a tree in the 700 block of North Broadway around 3:30 am Saturday. He was the sole occupant of the car.

Friends stopped by the scene of the crash to leave behind mementos of Lopes’ young life and prayers. They say he worked at a local school where he mentored kids.

“He brought a smile on every single person he ever met. If you met him one time your whole life, you would never forget him, never,” said one friend.

Police are investigating what caused the crash.
