That was disturbing! :(

Wonder if they have had the funeral.

here's a write up on it and quotes from some channel 2

Quote:What's even more amazing is that everyone survived the crash, even the pedestrian. Channel 2 in Dayton has the article.

QUOTE from Channel 2
Dayton Police release dramatic video that shows an SUV landing on top of a pedestrian after a crash. It happened yesterday at West Third and Edwin C. Moses.&nbsp; There are cameras at the intersection to catch red light runners.&nbsp; They show the victim walking in the cross walk when a car and an SUV crashed.&nbsp; The SUV then rolled over onto the pedestrian.

Police say it all started when the driver of a PT Cruiser ran a red light and slammed into the SUV.&nbsp; At least one passerby wittnessed the crash and called 9-1-1.&nbsp; Police say the drivers got away with minor injuries.&nbsp; But the pedestrian, 43-year-old Scott Tegtmeyer was critically injured.

Now, prosecutors are taking a close look at the video to determine what charges the driver of the PT Cruiser could face.&nbsp; Investigators say analysis of the video has already revealed some crucial factors.&nbsp; Pollice say the light had been red for 28 seconds when the PT Cruiser entered the intersection.&nbsp; They say Tegtmeyer should not have been crossing the street at the time because the crosswalk signal was red.

Amazingly, investigators also say that themassive dent left on the side of the SUV, caused by the impact of the crash, created a hallow space that kept Tegtmeyer from being crushed to death as the vehicle rolled over him.

Tegtmeyer was listed in serious condition Monday night.&nbsp; So far, no charges have been filed.


And the inital story (prior to it's 6/29 editing by the news) read as follows:

QUOTE from Channel 2
Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said. Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air.

The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him. On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash.

Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage in the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a "AAA" sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end.

Oh haha.

Thats aggravated assault at the minimum, 28 seconds is absurd no way that PT should have been going thru the light, the driver was obviously not watching the road or on something, the pedestrian always has the right of way within reason, and based on the video, the pedestrian was crossing properly, the signal probably changed while he was part way across. Charges need to be brought up ASAP, reckless endangerment, assault with a deadly weapon, perhaps manslaughter if the ped doesn't make it.

While it is easy to come to this conclusion I am thinking the lady was really old and couldn't see. It was a PT cruiser.
