Jun. 28—The 21-year-old driver who died after colliding with another vehicle in Plaistow June 21 has been identified as Michael Roy of Haverhill, Plaistow Police stated Thursday morning in a press release.

Roy was traveling northbound on Route 125 on a 1995 Honda CBR600 motorcycle near the Plaistow Center Plaza just before 5 p.m. when he collided with a 2005 Toyota Avalon that was making a left turn into the Mavis Tire entrance, police said.

Police said Roy suffered serious injuries and was transported to the Massachusetts General Hospital by Boston MedFlight, where he was later pronounced dead.

The driver of the Toyota Avalon, identified as 46-year-old Veronica Pellegrino, was not injured in the crash, police said.
