On Sunday morning, an accident occurred in Falmouth leading to the death of a 21-year-old Massachusetts man identified as James A. Koshivos, police said.
The accident happened before 9:30 a.m. James died after his car plunged into the ocean off Menauhant Beach in Falmouth.
According NBC Boston, Falmouth firefighters were dispatched to the intersection of Central Avenue and Menauhant Road when someone noticed a car in the water and wondered how long it had been there.
The body of Koshivos was found inside his car by Falmouth firefighters. The police requested assistance from the Massachusetts State Police dive team to recover the submerged vehicle.
According to state and local police, a preliminary investigation reveals the driver was likely speeding while traveling south on Central Avenue before dawn when he failed to stop at a stop sign. He then crossed over Menauhant Road, crashed over an embankment, passing over Menauhant Beach and plunging into the ocean, with his vehicle ultimately landing in the water on its roof.
