This article was in the news a few weeks back about a soldier who had returned from Iraq and was hit by a car. Another car hit him and then dragged him half of a mile to a store! A thousand thoughts go through my mind even now when I read this.
What’s the story behind the first car that hit him? Did the driver not notice? Did s/he speed away? What about the driver of the second car that hit him and dragged him half of a mile? Should she even be allowed to drive? Her story is that she thought she hit a piece of cardboard. Yeah, cardboard, human body, same thing. She’s definitely the kind of person who would get a flat tire, think “Wow, my car sure is pulling hard to one side,” and then not stop until she got to her destination and finally someone could tell her that she drove for 60 miles on a flat tire. I can’t imagine what would have happened if someone hadn’t told the lady that she was dragging a body around under her car… She would probably get home and think, “Hmm, I smell bacon,” and then go back to the store…
No charges had been filed, but, unless the soldier jumped out of the bushes into the street, I would hope the police are going after the first person to hit him and really investigating the lady who hit him after that.
