Peloquin died following the accident near his Smith Neck Road home during the rainstorm in which his car struck a tree. News reports said that Peloquin's white Mercedes Benz hit into a tree near 674 Smith Neck Road in Dartmouth.
Police are investigating the crash, which damaged the car so severely that emergency workers could not immediately free Peloquin. A nurse had to crawl inside the wreck to perform CPR on Peloquin while rescue crews used the "Jaws of Life" hydraulic tool to extricate him from the car.
Peloquin was then rushed to St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford, where he was pronounced dead.
Norman Peloquin was known as one of the foremost experts in admiralty and maritime law. We offer our sincere condolences to his family.
