State Police have charged a 26-year-old Brockton man with motor vehicle homicide following an investigation into a wrong-way crash that killed a Wareham man.

Pendy Pamphile was driving south on Route 495 northbound in the area of exits 1 and 2 around 10:20 p.m. on June 16 when he crashed into 43-year-old Christopher Elicier's 2012 Hyundai Veloster coupe. Elicier was ejected from his vehicle and pronounced deceased at the scene.

Pamphile is charged with motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and operating the wrong way on a state highway, said State Police Lieutenant Daniel Richard.

A clerk at Wareham District Court said Pamphile has not appeared in court yet. It is unclear if a court date has been scheduled.

Elicier is survived by his wife of 19 years, Cathleen, and sons Jordan Michael, 15, and Ryan Christopher, 6. A 1987 graduate of Wareham High School, Elicier had worked at Taunton State Hospital for 22 years. He was on his way to work when the crash occurred.

Charles and Cara Pillsbury, friends of the Elicier family, are hoping to help his wife and children financially during this difficult time. As of this writing, more than $1,200 had been raised through the online fundraising website, YouCaring.com. The website will accept donations until July 31. If you would like to help, click here.

Pamphile, who was driving a 2007 Lexus IS200 sedan, was extricated from his vehicle by firefighters using the Jaws of Life. He was transported to Tobey Hospital with a serious leg injury, and later flown to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.
