SEEKONK, Mass. (AP) — Police are investigating the death of a man fatally struck by a vehicle on Route 195 in Seekonk, Massachusetts after allegedly running from police on foot.
Massachusetts State Police say a Seekonk police officer attempted to stop the man Saturday night when he was driving. The man then drove behind a motel and fled on foot, running onto the interstate at approximately 8:25 p.m. Policy say the man was then struck by a Honda Odyssey.
The Boston Globe reports the man was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not yet been released.
