The police responded at about 12:43 a.m. Giguerre, alone in the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene, the result of crash injuries, Moynihan said. He apparently wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
“Our thoughts are with this young man’s family and friends at this sad time,” Moynihan said. “We urge motorists to be especially careful during these busy summer months and to always buckle up.”
The crash is under investigation by detectives and the department's accident reconstruction unit.
