Who could believe this could happen again?
A 19 year-old man in Florida hit a pedestrian and drove for a mile to his house, with the 57 year-old pedestrian's legless body stuck in his windshield. The accident cut off the man's legs, which later were found near the parking lot of a bar. Bar patrons called in the discovery.
Meanwhile, the traumatized young driver, who did not have a cell phone, figured his house was the closest stopping point. He called 9/11 when he got home. The pedestrian was dead. No charges will be filed against the driver as he was not at fault, according to Kim Miller, spokesperson for the highway patrol:
``It's the pedestrian's fault. He was wearing dark clothing,'' Miller said. ``The poor kid (Dradeen) was in the wrong place at the wrong time.''
