Default Here's an interesting accident situation...

Suspected Drunken Driver Leaves Accident Scene With Dead Body in Window

PERRIS, Calif. — A suspected drunken driver crashed with a motorcycle and then left the scene, unknowingly driving away with the motorcyclist's dead body lodged in the rear window of his car, investigators said.

Tony Martinez, 54, pulled out of a parking lot Saturday night and cut off motorcyclist Nicholas Justin Campbell, who was traveling about 80 mph, California Highway Patrol spokesman Ron Thatcher said.

The motorcyle crashed into the car and Campbell was thrown through the rear window, Thatcher said. Martinez then drove away and realized when he got home that the motorcyclist was in his car, Thatcher said.

Martinez then drove to a Riverside County fire station where 20-year-old Campbell was declared dead, according to the coroner's office.

Martinez was arrested and booked for investigation of gross vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run and driving under the influence. Bail was set at $75,000.

Similar accident here in recent time. Guy in a cage, drunk as a skunk,hits a pedestrian, but in this case the victimgoes through the windshield. The impact knocks limbs and body parts off. Drunk goes home and passes out in bed. Get this... LEO followsTRAIL of the victims parts and blood to the guy's house! and arrests him.Jerk is so drunk he doesn't even recall hitting the victim and him sticking in the windshield in his face.

Can you say, "Lynch Mob?"
