Man run over by neighbor on Gardner Mountain
Updated 2:26pm:
A 61-year-old South Lake Tahoe man was accidentally run over by a neighbor early Tuesday morning.
James Gregory Greenwood was pronounced dead at the scene. He lived with his 90-year-old father on 13th Street.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. It’s possible he had died prior to the vehicle backing over him.
The driver was leaving his 13th Street home just after 5am March 13 to pick something up at the store. He thought he was going over a snow berm. When he returned he realized the bump was his neighbor, and then he called police.
School buses were rerouted to avoid the scene, which is near the entrance to Mt. Tallac and South Tahoe high schools.
Officers said there is nothing suspicious about the accident.

I pray he had passed prior to his being run over. When I initially found out, a close friend of Jim told me it was either a heart attack or a stroke. I cannot imagine why Jim would be sleeping behind a car at zero dark thirty in freezing cold weather. Sounds like he suffered from a heart attack or stroke in my opinion. Rest in Peace buddy. I will miss our FB chats.
