I read the title and immediately though "wait huh, how'd he get a car?" But... no it was the homeowner that was doing the driving not the homeless. |

It got at me first too. Then I did something unthinkable: I read the description... and then it all came together. |

The driver returned to the gas station to bring back the window cleaner guy.  |

You know many homeless people live in their cars?

Guess the driver asshole was hoping he would fly off on the highway.  |

Re: Fatal Hit-and-run of a Homeless Man in Kentucky
Seriously though, a homeless guy ought to have enough sense not to walk out in traffic right? |

Re: Fatal Hit-and-run of a Homeless Man in Kentucky
Interstates, major highways, autobahns, etc. are engineered for motor vehicle traffic and not pedestrians. From NHTSA: nighttime driving visibility is reduced by as much as 65% vs daytime visibility. 70% of roadway pedestrian accidents occur between the hours of 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM yet nighttime driving accounts for only 25% of the total driving hours.

Re: Fatal Hit-and-run of a Homeless Man in Kentucky
Driver was obviously considering how he could get away with it. For two miles he drove, probably trying to push the corpse out of the window. I bet someone watched the man get hit. Otherwise, why would the driver admit that he drove with him for two miles. Seems too nefarious. Hit and run, probably drunk driving.
