A tragic incident in Plymouth, Massachusetts has resulted in a wrongful death lawsuit being filed by the family of a police officer against the woman accused of causing his death. The lawsuit also targets two bars where the accused and the victim had been drinking on the night of the incident.

The lawsuit alleges that the death of John O'Keefe was a result of the actions of Karen Read, who is accused of hitting O'Keefe with her vehicle and leaving him to die in the snow. It further claims that the bars were negligent in serving alcohol to Read despite signs of intoxication.
