Man Lying in Road Dies After Cop Runs Him Over

Garrett Gagne, 22, had been out with friends celebrating New Year’s Eve

A 22-year-old described as “the best of the scholar athletes” at his university had been out with friends to celebrate New Year’s Eve when he got separated from them—and somehow ended up lying in the middle of an unlit road in Chatham, Mass., police say. That’s where Garrett Gagne was early yesterday when a young police officer, driving in what the police chief calls an “expedited” fashion to respond to a nearby business’s burglary alarm, accidentally ran him over around 4am; Gagne was in the center of Crowell Road’s southbound lane.
