York officer’s funeral set

First Published:

Constable Garrett Styles’ funeral will be held Tuesday in Newmarket.
The York Regional Police Association says the viewing for the officer will be on Monday in Thornhill.
Constable Styles died yesterday morning after he was dragged more than 300 metres and pinned beneath a van, with four teens inside, when it flipped over on Highway 48 in East Gwillimbury.
He was married with a 2-year-old daughter and a 9-week-old son.
The 15-year old driver is in hospital with serious injuries and will likely face numerous charges.
Police want to speak with anyone who may have seen the van before it was stopped by Constable Styles.
Meanwhile, the public continues to place flowers, cards and teddy bears outside the detachment where Styles worked.
