“Though there have been quite a few rumors circulating on the socials about where the individuals involved in the fatal motor vehicle crash this past Friday were prior to the crash occurring, we HAVE NOT yet received a single call from anyone who can actually validate this information.
As this crash can be described as nothing less than both tragic and dreadful for not only the people involved in it, but also the families they left behind to pick up the pieces, we politely ask that people stop circulating meritless information, as it does nothing more than add to the angst and pain that these families are already incurring.
As we stated in a previous post, if you have any CREDIBLE information that can assist us with the investigation, we encourage you to contact either Officer Brian Parent at 508-910-1790 or Detective Kyle Costa at 508-910-1755.
Thank you! PLEASE SHARE!”-Dartmouth Police Department.
The Pothier family started a Go Fund Me page that stated, “My name is Jen, unexpectedly and tragically my nephew, Jacob, passed away last night in a fatal car crash. Words cannot even begin to express the heartache my sister, Stacey Pothier, his father, Jason Pothier, and the entire family is facing. Nearly two weeks ago, we celebrated Jacob’s 18th birthday and Christmas. With the new year ahead, this was something wildly out of the realm of possibility in any of our minds.
While we are all saddened by Jacob’s sudden and tragic passing, there are huge financial burdens that accompany such a tragedy that need to happen in a really short period of time.
This page has been created to honor my nephew and help my sister and her family afford to memorialize and bury him.
No contribution is too small, any assistance would be appreciated immensely by the entire family. Please consider a donation or sharing this page with your family or friends.
Jacob touched so many people in ways we knew; but, in many more ways we never knew. The laughs and those blue eyes will live in my memory forever.”
“The outpouring of support is overwhelming! My family is beyond appreciative.” Jennifer Cullen photo.
