Authorities say that a Connecticut motorcyclist died after a car driven by a Massachusetts teenager crossed the center line on a Charlemont highway and hit him. The Northwestern district attorney’s office said Douglas Chouinard, 56, of Enfield died Saturday evening at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. The district attorney’s office said Chouinard was traveling east on Route 2 at about 4 p.m. Saturday when he was struck by a car driven by Jacob Earl, 17, of Buckland. Earl was issued a criminal citation on accusations of negligent operation and failure to stay in marked lanes.
