Attorneys for a woman accused of striking her Boston police officer boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a snowbank outside another officer’s home began presenting their case Friday that she was framed by police, with a snowplow driver who said he didn’t see a body.

Snowplow driver Brian Loughran, who was on his regular route during a storm early on Jan. 29, 2022, was the first witness called by defense attorneys for Karen Read after prosecutors rested.
