Man run over by girlfriend in freak highway accident
Police say a woman accidentally ran over and killed her boyfriend on the highway near Sioux Narrows, Ont. Thursday. Ontario Provincial Police say the 39-year-old man and his girlfriend were driving from Whitefish Bay to Kenora on Ontario’s Highway 71.
The couple stopped for a break at the side of the highway at about 3 a.m., and Beacham got out of the car.
Police say the woman lost sight of the man, so she did several U-turns on the highway in an attempt to find him with the car’s headlights.
The man was run over and died as a result of his injuries. Police identified him as Don Beacham of the Washusk Onigum First Nation.
Police have not laid any charges in connection with the death. The investigation continues.
