CENTEREACH, N.Y. — A man trying to prevent his girlfriend from driving drunk after a party Saturday on Long Island was killed when he was dragged under her car while pleading with her to stop, according to Newsday.

Louis Wiederer, 26, was hanging onto Jesenia Vega's open driver's side window when she started her car and took off, dragging him until he lost his grip and fell under the car, the paper reports.

"You're going to get arrested," the paper reported a witness overhearing Wiederer tell Vega, 27. "You can't drive like that!'

But Vega told him, "Leave me alone!," and took off.

Suffolk police arrested her at the scene and charged her with driving while intoxicated. She pleaded not guilty Sunday and is currently being held in jail.

Wiederer was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dead right.

Hanging onto the window was not a smart thing to do.

My sympathies are with his family. None for her.

My group of friends has an explicit rule. Anyone who ever tries to drive drunk will be physically restrained.

So far, it hasn't come up.

I know some may not like this, but in my experience females and alcohol do not mix

Drunks and cars don't mix, no matter the gender of the drunk.

I can’t understand someone trying to hang onto any part of a car. (trying to persuade the driver to stop) What a horrible outcome. Once the driver decides to go there’s at least a 1000:1 power advantage in the car’s favor that is nothing to mess with.

OK, having looked at her picture, what is her legal status, now I'm off to rehab for profiling.

He made the right choice to hang on. The rest of his life would have been a living hell.

And she pleaded...not guilty. Good luck with that. I’m no legal buff, would this be manslaughter?

Yes, its man-slaughter.
