Naked drunk driver hurls pedestrian 200 feet
Authorities say a naked and apparently drunk driver fatally struck a pedestrian and then flipped her out-of-control car into a parking lot in the Arlington section of Staten Island NY.
Police say 24-year-old Taliyah Taylor was not wearing any clothes when she drove into the man at the intersection at around 11 p.m. The pedestrian, 41-year-old Larry Simon, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Taylor's late model Nissan Maxima then struck sideswiped a Toyota, kept going west for about 300 yards, jumped a curb and hurtled an six-foot fence into a parking lot shared by Lowe's and Kohl's Department store. Security guards from the store pulled the nude woman out of the badly damaged car.
The pedestrian was hurled up to 200 feet and the driver didn't try to stop. "I don't see any skid marks," said NYPD Lt. Ross LaMorte. She was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Article here.

wow, only minor injuries for the drunk driver? oh how unfair life is.
Oh well, I just hope NY have a tough vehicular manslaughter law. She should be behind bars for a loooong time.
