Rhode Island Man Charged With Weekend Northfield Accident

The suspect in the crash that injured a group of motorcyclists from Connecticut riding together in Western Massachusetts on Memorial Day weekend has been identified.

The Northwestern District Attorney's Office says Ryan O'Farrell of Westerly, Rhode Island is charged with counts including OUI-drugs causing serious injury and child endangerment.

O'Farrell and two young passengers were reportedly in an SUV with a trailer attached that hit five bikes driving the opposite way on Main Street in Northfield on Sunday.

Eight people from the bike pack were taken to hospitals, including two listed as critical at UMass Medical Center in Worcester.

O'Farrell is due for a court arraignment on Tuesday.
