US EditionSnowplow Driver Takes Stand in Karen Read Trial
- A snow plow driver named Brian Loughran testified on June 5, 2025, during Karen Read's retrial in Canton, Massachusetts, about the night John O'Keefe died.
- The retrial follows a hung jury in Read's first trial and involves conflicting claims that Read killed O'Keefe by hitting him with her SUV and defense allegations of police misconduct.
- Loughran testified that on the night in question, he drove by the Fairview Road property multiple times—at least four—with a clear line of sight each time, yet he did not notice O'Keefe's body lying in the snow.
- He described snow depth as two to three inches and stated, “I saw nothing” on the lawn while making his rounds with bright plow truck lights illuminating the area.
- Loughran's testimony challenges the prosecution's claim that Read left O'Keefe to die in the snow and highlights ongoing disputes over the incident and possible law enforcement cover-up allegations.
