An off-duty police officer with the Seekonk Police Department was one of two people who died after a motorcycle crash early Saturday in Somerset, Massachusetts.
Kourtny DeForitis, 28, of Taunton, was a passenger on a motorcycle that crashed at the Route 103 rotary at 1:15 a.m., police said. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
The motorcycle operator, Daniel Glover, 44, of Easton, was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Police said preliminary investigation suggests the motorcycle entered the rotary in the wrong direction and collided with another vehicle.
DeForitis served with the Seekonk Police Department for just under three years after attending the Cape Cod Municipal Police Academy in 2021.
“Since that time, she has been assigned to the Patrol Division and was outstanding in her various roles as a community outreach officer. Kourtny had a particular fondness for the youth of Seekonk and could be found playfully interacting with them in the schools and at community events, usually with a bright smile on her face and a contagious laugh,” the Seekonk Police Department posted on social media.
