Cameron Mosher previously worked as a call firefighter in town
The Town of Dennis identified one of the three victims killed in a Saturday evening motorcycle collision as six-year Department of Public Works employee Cameron “Cam” Mosher.
Mosher, 28, of Dennis, who previously worked as a call firefighter with the Dennis Fire Department, is the son of Dennis firefighter Robert “Bert” Mosher, according to statements released by the town and the firefighters union.
“Our thoughts are with the Mosher family and our Department of Public Works colleagues and friends during this incredibly difficult time,” the town wrote in the statement.
The motorcycle collision, which took place on Endicott Street North in Laconia, New Hampshire, killed three people and left a woman with life-threatening injuries, local police wrote in a statement. A medical helicopter took the woman to Concord Hospital.
Police identified the other two victims as Miles Collette, 32, of Gilford, and Jeanine Fereshetian, 33, of Laconia, according to a post from Laconia Police.
The motorcycles collided just before 11 p.m. and were in a “significant debris field,” police told The Boston Globe. A preliminary investigation found that the motorcycles hit each other head-on.
“It was a tough night, and our resources were stretched thin, but our team came through and did an amazing job,” Police Chief Matt Canfield said in a statement. “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the victims and the families of the victims.”
Cape Cod-based companies, such as Cape Cod Excavating, Inc. and John G. Sears & Son, Inc., made posts on social media remembering Mosher for his wit and kindness.
The Town of Dennis made grief counselors and a chaplain available at the Department of Public Works on Monday, according to a statement.
The Dennis DPW union announced Mosher’s final trip home to Dennis would take place Monday evening. The final journey was expected to cross the Sagamore Bridge around 5 p.m., continue along Route 6 to the old Exit 8 in Yarmouth, and end at Hallett Funeral Home, according to a social media post.
The post by the Dennis DPW union invited family, friends, and the community to stand along the route.
“Cam has been a part of our company and our lives for many years. He has shared his time, hard work, kindness, and friendship with so many of us, and he will always be remembered as an important part of our work family,” the post read. “Rest easy, Cam. You’re coming home.”
