A 36-year-old Middletown man has died following a A 36-year-old Middletown man has died following a motorcycle crash on the Route 24 on-ramp in Portsmouth last week.

Juan Pablo Garcia Castro was critically injured around 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 5, when his motorcycle struck a guardrail near the northbound on-ramp from West Main Road, police said Tuesday.

According to investigators, Garcia Castro was riding north on West Main Road and entered the on-ramp using the left lane. As he navigated the curve, he reportedly changed lanes and hit the guardrail, which caused him to be thrown from the motorcycle. The bike continued for a short distance before coming to a stop.

Garcia Castro was wearing a helmet, police said, but was unresponsive when emergency crews arrived. He was taken to St. Anne’s Hospital in Fall River and later airlifted to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where he died from his injuries on Monday, June 9.

The crash remains under investigation by the Portsmouth Police Detective Division and Accident Reconstruction Unit.

Authorities closed the on-ramp after the crash to allow first responders to assist at the scene and begin their investigation.

Police offered condolences to Garcia Castro’s family and friends.

A Massachusetts man is facing DUI charges after st A Massachusetts man is facing DUI charges after striking a curb so hard it disabled his vehicle Saturday night — with two young children inside.

Portsmouth Police say they responded to East Main Road near Hedly Street around 8:30 p.m. on June 7 for a report of a disabled vehicle. Officers found 39-year-old Peter Murner of Bourne, Mass., at the scene along with his damaged car.

Authorities said a 10-year-old child who had been in the vehicle approached officers and handed over the car keys. A 7-year-old child remained in the back seat. Both children were safely moved to a cruiser as officers investigated.

Police said Murner showed multiple signs of alcohol impairment, including slurred speech and the smell of alcohol. He failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody.

At police headquarters, Murner refused to take a chemical breath test.

He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol with passengers under 13 years old and refusal to submit to a chemical test. He was released with a summons and is scheduled to be arraigned in 2nd Division District Court on June 12.

The children were released into the care of a family member.
