The Wampanoag flag outside Mashpee Town Hall flew at half-staff this week in remembrance of Okemos R. Brown, 4, of Mashpee, a member of the Wampanoag Tribe who died from injuries sustained in a car accident last Thursday morning, January 21.
Falmouth Police Department responded to the on-ramp from Route 151 to Route 28 Northbound, where officers found that an accident had occurred involving a sedan and a commercial truck. A medical helicopter was requested to transport the 4-year-old to a Boston-area hospital. The driver of the sedan sustained minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation, according to the Falmouth Police Department.
Okemos was a preschooler at Kenneth C. Coombs School in Mashpee. Mashpee Public Schools Superintendent Patricia M. DeBoer described Okemos as a âbright light to all that knew himâ in an email informing the school community of the boyâs death.
