A man lying in road was run over by a car on Orange Avenue in Suffern

The 26-year-old Suffern man is in serious condition

SUFFERN – A village man remained hospitalized Monday in serious condition after being run over while lying in the road, police said.

The driver told police she didn't see the man while driving along Orange Avenue, Chief Clarke Osborn said. She ran over him at about 10:45 p.m. Sunday near the New York State Thruway bridge, he said.

Osborn said the Ramapo police accident investigations unit is working with his officers on the case. He said the initial review supports the driver's contention at the 26-year-old man was lying in the road.

Osborn said the man may have been drinking, but police were awaiting toxicology test results.

Osborn said the man was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern. The accident investigation unit is called when there are serious injuries or death.

No tickets or charges were lodged against the 23-year-old driver from Monroe, Osborn said.
