Teen Killed In I-93 Rollover Crash In Canton

CANTON, MA — A 17-year-old boy was killed in a rollover crash in Canton Saturday night, said Massachusetts State Police in a news release.

Giovanni Taboh, 17, of Natick, was killed after the Jeep Wrangler he was riding in collided with a Toyota Corolla while changing lanes, said police. Taboh was ejected from the vehicle and later pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton.

"Preliminary investigation indicates that while traveling southbound on Route 93, the Jeep's driver, while in close proximity to Exit 2B, attempted to cross multiple lanes to take the exit," said state police in a news release. "The Jeep struck the Toyota on the ramp. The impact pushed the Toyota into the wood line and caused the Jeep to roll over across the ramp and into the adjacent infield."

The driver of the Jeep and three other passengers, as well as the driver of the Toyota, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up for Taboh with a goal of raising $70,000. As of Wednesday afternoon, donors have contributed over $45,000.

"Giovanni was a fun loving kid who interacted closely with his school mates, friends and family," says the GoFundMe page. "His sense of humor was a feature which was constantly highlighted by his parents. He loved to travel to explore new horizons and he was a budding musician who was constantly creating music with astounding lyrics and beats."

"His very short life will always be remembered for the positive energy he carried around him," it continues.
