Police today identified the two men killed in a six-vehicle pileup in Falmouth as authorities continue investigating the massive crash that also left seven injured.

Edward F. Kipp, 48, of Providence, was killed after a sport utility vehicle fleeing security officials at Otis Air National Guard Base slammed into his truck at a busy intersection in Falmouth, according to a report released by the Falmouth Police Department. Kipp, an employee of Rockwell Amusements and Promotions, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Michael Warren, 26, of Falmouth, a passenger in the SUV, was ejected from his seat into nearby woods. He was flown to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and died at 4 a.m. Sunday.

Police identified the driver of the SUV as Michael E. Catarius, 23, of Mashpee. He remains in critical condition today at Beth Israel.

Michael Trudeau, first assistant district attorney for the Cape and Islands, said prosecutors are awaiting the results of the Falmouth police investigation of the crash before deciding whether any charges will be filed.
