Florida motorist drives home with man in windshield
You can file this one under "deja vu"- yes, we HAVE been here before, and apparently no lessons were learned.
DELEON SPRINGS, Fla. -- A motorist drove home about a mile with the legless body of a pedestrian in his front windshield before calling authorities to report that he hit the man with his car, officials said.
Joseph Markert, 57, was trying to cross U.S. 1 in DeLeon Springs when he was hit by a car driven by Daniel Dradeen, 19, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The medical examiner will determine if Markert survived the impact, but it's more likely that he died immediately, said Mark O'Keefe of EVAC, which provides emergency services for Volusia County.
Deputies first learned of the accident, which happened about midnight Friday, from patrons at a bar who called 911 to report finding two legs near the parking lot, Volusia County sheriff's reports said.
The next 911 call came from the home of Ronald Brownie, where Dradeen had driven with Markert's upper body. Dradeen had been living with Brownie and his 19-year-old son Ronald Brownie Jr., who made the 911 call, the reports showed.
Dradeen didn't stop to report the accident because he didn't have a cellular phone with him and Brownie's home was only about a mile from the accident site, Brownie said.
And I suppose he was on a beer run and was running late? Congratulations, son, you have displayed the selfishness, overarching ignorance, and complete absence of intellectual agility that characterizes a true DUMASS. Chante Mallard would be proud of you....
