Driver goes 3 miles with dead body
A 94-year-old motorist struck and killed a pedestrian, then drove about 3 miles with the body lodged in the windshield until he was stopped at a tollbooth. The driver told police he thought the body had fallen from the sky.
"He had no idea he had been involved in an accident."
The pedestrian made it across two of the southbound lanes before he was hit by a 2002 Chevy Malibu, which was traveling about 45 mph. The impact severed the pedestrian's lower right leg, which remained in the street. His head and arms went through the windshield, while the rest of his body flipped up onto the roof of the car.
"The driver continued southbound, as the eyewitness said, like nothing happened.”
As the car approached the toll plaza, the toll taker thought it was a prank, until he saw the blood. When the driver stopped, the body fell into the car.
"Obviously, he was confused, incredibly confused."
He will probably not face criminal charges, as he appeared unaware that he had been involved in an accident. Click here to read the article.
