Two people have died after a car crashed into the Threemile River in Taunton late Monday night.

The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said a car was speeding near North Walker and Winthrop streets around 10:15 p.m. when it hit a utility pole and guardrail before going into the water.

While searching the river, investigators found a white Nissan Maxima with one person inside. That person, identified as 24-year-old Alec Ardita, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The search for a second person in the water continued Tuesday morning. A 12 news crew saw divers go back into the area, and a short time later, police moved family members away from the scene as it appeared a second person’s body was recovered.

The DA’s office later confirmed that a second male’s body was pulled from the water and he was pronounced dead. That person has not yet been identified.
