Matthew Denice, 23, was killed last Friday evening after he was struck on his motorcycle and then dragged about one quarter of a mile by a drunk driver who ran a stop sign in Milford.

The Boston Globe reports that Denice was hit at the intersection of Congress Street and Fayette Street just before 8:00pm by a pickup truck operated by Nicolas Guaman, 34, who is here illegally from Ecuador. Guaman’s 4-year-old child was a passenger in the truck at the time of the deadly crash.

After Guaman struck Denice, he continued to drive forward despite Denice’s screaming from under the pickup. Several witnesses who saw the horrible collision had rushed towards the pickup and made attempts to stop Guaman.

Guaman drove until the corner of where West Street and Bancroft Avenue meet, where his pickup left the road and went onto a yard. Denice landed on the sidewalk in front of the yard, where emergency responders found him and rushed him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Guaman reportedly backed his truck up after driving onto the lawn and continued driving 2 blocks down the road before police caught up with him and arrested him.

According to the Globe article, Guaman appeared in Milford District Court yesterday to answer to numerous charges against him stemming from the deadly motorcycle accident. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been notified and will determine deportation details following Guaman’s trial for his role in the fatal accident. Guaman was being held on $25,000 bail.
