Elderly man drives with body in windshield

Police: 93-year-old kept driving with body (:51)
ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) -- A 93-year-old driver apparently suffering from dementia fatally struck a pedestrian and drove for three miles with the man's body through his windshield, police said.
Ralph Parker was stopped after he drove through a tollbooth on the Sunshine Skyway, Traffic Homicide Investigator Michael Jockers said. The toll taker called police, he said.
Parker was not likely to face charges because he did not appear to know what happened or where he was, said Bruce Bartlett, chief assistant in the Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney's Office.
"He may have somewhere in his mind have realized it was a crash, but immediately forgot about it," Jockers said.
The victim's leg was severed in the Wednesday night crash, police said. The man, whose name was not released, was 52.
Parker had renewed his license in 2003.
"That was the one thing he had, to get in his car and just drive for the sheer enjoyment of driving," Jockers said. Parker lived alone after his wife died in 1998, authorities said.

I wonder if he had insurance.
Same deal happened up in Dallas. This old lady hit someone, the body was stuck in the windshield. This individual was still alive. She parked her car in her garage and left this person attached to her windshield for days.
Actually I think that was an episode on CSI.Same deal happened up in Dallas. This old lady hit someone, the body was stuck in the windshield. This individual was still alive. She parked her car in her garage and left this person attached to her windshield for days.
No this is a real case.
Wasn't that lady high on PCP or some hardcore drug like that??Same deal happened up in Dallas. This old lady hit someone, the body was stuck in the windshield. This individual was still alive. She parked her car in her garage and left this person attached to her windshield for days.
I don't remember too much about it. All I remember is that it happened during the summer. I believe 3 years ago.
No she was just stuck on stupid...
The meth chick was that guy that busted out of court.
There's a famous case of the same thing. The woman (who wasn't old) parked her car in the garage with the body in the windshield and went inside her house and banged her boyfriend.
The guy was still alive in the windshield and was pleaing for help for two days and she just waited it out til he died.

And I think she was even a nurse.
People 80 and over should take a driving test every couple of years.
That guy should not have been on the road at all.
That's the case I was talking about. For some reason I remember her being old.
Well, she looks alot older.

There was a CSI episode that was the same thing.
