FORT WORTH, Texas -- A man who was the victim of a hit-and-run lived at least two days trapped in a broken windshield before dying in the driver's garage in Fort Worth, Texas, police said.
"Maybe we've just redefined inhumanity," a prosecutor in Fort Worth said about the October 2001 incident.
Police arrested a 25-year-old woman -- a nurse's aide -- in the man's hit-and-run death.
Police told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the victim was trapped in the broken windshield of the car that hit him and begged for help before he finally died of blood loss and shock.
According to a police statement, the woman panicked, and with the man still lodged in the windshield, she drove a few miles to her home, parked in her garage, and ignored his pleas for help until he died. His body was later dumped.
The driver told them she'd been drinking and using drugs when she struck the man, police said.
The woman told police she occasionally went into the garage, apologizing to the victim. The impact had hurled him headfirst through the windshield, his broken legs sticking out onto the hood.
