SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - An elderly man who had been dropped off by Dial-a-Ride van at the wrong house in the wrong town died after falling down a flight of stairs.
Joseph J. Fopiano, 78, of East Longmeadow, fell at a house in the neighboring community of Longmeadow on March 20.
He had told the van driver for the local Dial-a-Ride service, which provides transportation for the elderly and disabled, to drop him off at what he thought was his house, his wife told The Republican of Springfield. Peggy Fopiano said her husband had suffered confusion since a stroke six years ago.
