This is shocking video of an Ecuadorian Immigrant who was hit by an SUV in New York. As he lay in the street before help could arrive, a minivan runs over the man and his body disappears because he is caught under the van. The van dragged the man for 20 miles, never knowing he was under the van. This is just a tragic and unbelievable story. . . . . (Watch Video)

Each story I read of this the distance dragged increases. First time I read it was 15 miles... now up to 20. I just haven’t read, yet, how it’s Bush’s fault somehow.

The video report says it was 20 miles through two New York Burroughs. Don’t know if the report is accurate or not.

Anyone that could run over a human body with a mini van and not notice that there was something in the road, not notice that the van had stuck something that was thicker than the distance between the bottom of the van and the road, and not notice that they were dragging something, has no right to be permitted to be driving, IMHO.

Not that it makes any difference, but that looks like a full size van to me.

I just came back from Michigan. The thing that worried me most was that it wasnt the roads, it was the drivers.

On the bright side, perhaps the van was headed toward Ecuador?
