Another Unbelievable Driver Story

Marp2 · ‎01-31-2012

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man who became lodged in the windshield of a car that struck him said he turned to the driver and said, "Hello, I'm the guy you hit on the bicycle."

The driver did not respond, but continued on, running a stop sign and hitting another vehicle before he arrived home, the cyclist, Steven Gove, told HTR Media about the Saturday incident (http://htrne.ws/1bI58jh ).

The man finally noticed Gove when he stopped the car outside his home.

"He looked at me and said 'Who are you? What are you doing in the car?'" Gove said. "He started freaking out: 'I'm going to jail, I'm going to jail.'"

The man then locked the car doors and went into his home. Gove, whose body had gone most of the way through the windshield, then pulled his knees and feet into the car.

"I righted myself and got out," he said. "I unlocked the passenger's side door and started walking down the street."

A witness had called police, who found Gove as he was walking and took him to a hospital. Doctors removed glass from Gove's eyes and treated him for other cuts to the head and leg.

Bizarre. He was only worried about himself and going to jail. Lately there have been so many hit and run incidents in my region. One was even by an off duty cop. What is wrong with people?

How does one not notice a person who is stuck in the windshield of the car they are driving?!!?

Or did I read it wrong?

Copious amounts of alcohol.

Wasn't there some horrible story years ago about a woman (I think) who hit someone who was somehow stuck on or in her car and she drove home and left him in the garage screaming for help - until he finally died.
