Driver Arrested After East Providence Three-Car Crash
A Fall River man was arrested in East Providence after allegedly fleeing a Massachusetts police pursuit in a white BMW, driving at high speed and striking an occupied vehicle and two parked cars. The adult driver and juvenile passenger in the occupied vehicle suffered injuries described as minor. Police say the suspect fled on foot, entered another vehicle, and ran again after officers stopped it on North County Street; an officer used a Taser to take him into custody. Dioni Tavarez-Leonirio faces charges including leaving injury crashes, reckless driving and eluding police, obstructing an officer, and resisting arrest, as well as traffic citations and possible additional Massachusetts charges.
