Authorities ID man killed in Thanksgiving crash on Mass. highway near Rhode Island
Authorities have identified the person who died in a crash involving a vehicle and a tractor trailer on a Massachusetts highway on Thanksgiving morning.
Carlos Chavez Martinez, 28, of Providence, Rhode Island was killed in the crash that happened on Interstate 95 near North Attleborough on Thursday, Nov. 27, according to the office of Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III.
At 2:30 a.m., state troopers responded to the crash involving a tractor trailer and a motor vehicle on I-95 south near mile marker 9.2 in North Attleborough, Quinn’s office said.
Officers found a white Audi sedan on the right side of the highway. The sedan had collided with a tractor trailer that was parked in a rest area. The Audi had “catastrophic damage on top of a guardrail and adjacent to the rear wheels of the trailer,” according to Quinn’s office.
The Audi’s driver, later identified as Chavez Martinez, was found unresponsive and still in the driver’s seat. Paramedics pronounced him dead at around 2:40 a.m.
The tractor trailer was driven by a 40-year-old man who did not appear to be injured, according to Quinn’s office.
The crash remains under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office along with the Massachusetts State Police.

Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency’s alert system down after cybersecurity incident
(WJAR) — Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency said its CodeRED notification system is down after a national cybersecurity incident.
According to officials, the OnSolve CodeRED emergency notification platform was involved in a cybersecurity incident recently.
The platform, which is provided by the vendor Crisis24, remains unavailable.
“Because RIEMA utilizes additional alert and warning systems beyond CodeRED, at no time during this incident did the state lose the capability to alert and warn the public,” RIEMA said in a statement.
RIEMA said CodeRED alert system can store the name, address, email addresses, phone numbers and passwords of users that signed up to receive the alerts.
The company told NBC 10 News’ sister station in Seattle, “We confirm that data potentially associated with the legacy OnSolve CodeRED platform has been published online following a targeted attack by an organized cybercriminal group. The attack also resulted in damage to the OnSolve CodeRED environment.”
Agency officials said state and local communities will use additional messaging platforms to issue emergency alerts.
CodeRED advised users to update their passwords if they’ve reused the same one on other accounts.

“The vendor is working to expedite the migration of users to their new CodeRED product, which has undergone enhanced security hardening,” RIEMA said in a statement.
