Friend of Elderly Man Says Police Ran Over Him Too

In a devastating turn of events, 70-year-old Daniel Puerto tragically lost his life on Sunday night after being struck by a minivan while seated on George Price Highway in Roaring Creek Village. The incident took a further grim twist when Puerto was reportedly run over a second time by a police vehicle. Albert Budd, a close friend of Puerto, recounted the harrowing moments leading up to the accident. Budd had offered Puerto a ride home, but before he could act, he heard a loud crash. Upon returning, he discovered that his cousin had inadvertently struck Puerto with the minivan. Budd further alleged that the police mobile subsequently ran over Puerto’s head while he lay on the ground, compounding the tragedy. Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith addressed the media, providing details of the incident. She stated that the minivan driver, Michael McFadzean, was not suspected of being under the influence at the time of the collision. The minivan has been impounded for further investigation, and a notice of intended prosecution has been issued to McFadzean. Smith also mentioned that Puerto was known to frequently sit on the road, a habit that may have contributed to the accident. A post-mortem examination is underway to determine if alcohol or drugs played a role in the incident.
