Two New Bedford residents pass away in Conway, NH accident

At 11:49am on Monday, the Conway New Hampshire Police Department responded to an accident involving a motorcycle with two passengers and a pickup truck.

The driver of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle, 57-year old David Oliviera and his 57-year old wife Cathy, both New Bedford residents, were making a left-hand turn when it collided with a Chevy Silverado 2500 pickup truck operated by a single occupant. Both the driver and passenger of the motorcycle were pronounced dead at the scene.

Cathy Oliveira was a teacher within the New Bedford Public School system. Conway Police said that neither alcohol nor speed appears to be a factor. Local residents complained that the intersection has been a dangerous one for years and that a light system was in need at the intersection as it is difficult to see motorcyclists coming down the road.
