Caught on tape: Body dragged 17 miles through New York City

I had brother in law who was killed in a very simillar way the difference was that several cars hit my brother in law and no one stopped-3 or 4 cars. this incident occured outside of a nightclub in columbus ohio . no doubt all who ran him over had been drinking this is the reason they did not stop my brother's name was Clark Valentine the third .this incident occured oct 28 08 god bless that poor family and ours

Ironically no one mentions the condition of the victim in that newscast. I assume he's dead I want to know for sure. This is really unbelievable.

this is a piss poor way to go out

As many have said before me, how can you drive 17 miles without a clue that somethings wrong?. Did the driver not hear a scraping sound?
I just glad the bystander warned that guy before he could reach home. Damn that's a lot of yellow tape!

tragic death. that wasn't quick or painless.

thats sad. at least the people who werent completely oblivious did try to do the right thing.

17 effing miles?! I know there are a lot of lousy drivers out there, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

Was the driver that drug the body text messaging while driving with their knees? There a lot drivers on the road who concentrate on everything but driving while behind the wheel. Our vehicles change from transportation to weapons when we don't concentrate on our surroundings.

No imagines their life will end so tragically...and so young. This bites, even for New York.

Hey, if you can't get a cab...............too soon?

i blame new york! fuckin new yorkers!

This is kind of like the Terri Schiabo episdoe of South Park where kenny becomes a vegitable and in his will he writes "If i'm ever paralyzed and you aren't sure what to do do ever ever.....put me on national televison." This is alot like that....If im ever hit by a car and dragged to death dont put me on f*#$# current.com.....

Vote it Down

Shitty!

♪ Life is too short so love the one you got because you might get run over or you might get shot. ♪

That's Kool G. Rap's neighborhood! I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was on the iPhone or something. This just proves my case further that drivers of SUVs and Vans have the tendency to be oblivious to their surroundings, with a "long as I'm safe" disposition.

Heeeell Naaawww!!!

Well that just feeds the New York driver stereotype...

that really sucks. i would feel terrible if i was the driver of the red van, and dragged a person for 17 miles. at least the driver of the black car pulled over after hitting him, at least some drivers know the right thing to do after making a mistake.

The slow reaction times of the onlookers doesn't surprise me one bit. We are so fucking desensitized by death. But we love finger pointing. I got hit on my bike in the bike lane 8 months ago, in broad daylight. Driver didn't seem to notice me hooked on her side view mirror shouting obscenities and kicking the fuck out of her door. No one else seemed to notice either. I got unhooked and gave the bitch a bird telling her to wake the fuck up. She told me to ride on the sidewalk.

Terrible tragedy. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

somehow as a driver in new york, i'm almost surprised this doesn't happen more often

Holy Crap!!! 17 miles!?! I may understand a block or two, but 17 miles! Was the driver high?

Perhaps we've become to much of a "me" centered world (from my observations as of late) and no one thinks or considers anything or anyone around them. I see it at stores...everywhere all the time. Think the driver of the van was on a cell phone!?!?! This is sad, my thoughts are with the victim and his family.

how can you drive 17 miles without noticing you are dragging a body under your vehicle?

what an idiot!

Granted it's hard to judge when you weren't there but I CANNOT fathom how someone could NOT see a full grown adult's body in the road in front of them (the van that dragged the victim). I've dodged animals smaller than that man at night. I sure would have seen a GROWN MAN in the road in front of my vehicle (I think).

This is disgusting. Americans have no respect for pedestrians.

Damn.

dam that was crazy!My blessing go out to his family.
