The body of Germayne Farrell, 51, of Daytona Beach, Fla., was dragged 51 feet and 10 inches by the 2008 red Ford Expedition, according to a traffic report from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

That’s quite grim, to have driven over a corpse, but it was accidental. The entire area was in an active state of chaos and danger.

On the bright side, there will now be a lawsuit.

"The driver “failed to see” the body at the south edge of the parking lot because “the vehicle hood and fender obscured his vision and he misjudged the location” of the body..."

Seriously, we've all done that, right?

“Misjudged clearance”

Undoubtedly the understatement of the day 😏

dragged 51 feet and 10 inches

I guess that's why it took 2 people to write the story, That is a very exact measurement. Sounds like a line of dialog from NCIS.

Actually one gris racially mixed

I’m guessing but the racial aspect is probably incidental.

I’d guess drugs, guns, territory or some other financial interest that both groups were attempting to capitalize on was what touched it off......and I also suspect there was at least one other incident that led up to this......most times something has been brewing for a while before it comes to a head.

The old record was a mere 44 feet 3 inches, so this is really putting it out there.

One of the primary reasons I sold my bike. 😏

51 feet and 10 inches is meant to excite a jury. Maybe also to gin up some protests.

I wasn’t on my bike at the time, but a teenage girl nearly hit my car when she almost ran a stop sign. We both hit the brakes squealing tires.

I glared at her and she just waved her phone at me and grinned like a possum.........................

Richie Cunningham : You ran over Fonzie’s bike.

Ralph Malph : I didn’t see it! He never parks in the street, always in the driveway, never in the street. Why did he park it in the street?

Richie Cunningham : Ralph, all that damage. How did you do all that?

Ralph Malph : Well, after I ran over it the first time...

Richie Cunningham : How many times did you run over it?

Ralph Malph : It’s hard to say. The whole night is a blur. You see, I ran over it and I panicked. Then I backed up over it. It got caught in my back wheels, and I just lost my head. I kept trying to get out of there. I was in fourth gear before I realized I wasn’t moving. My wheels were spinning and spinning and grinding and grinding. It was awful, just awful! Motorcycle all over the place!

Richie Cunningham : Ralph, there was an exhaust pipe in the mailbox. In the mailbox, Ralph. Now how do you account for that?

Ralph Malph : I don’t know. I thought maybe if I could just hide it...

I’m impressed. The carcass wasn’t just dragged 50 feet, but 51’-11”.

I think the article said the figure was obtained from the police report. They’d be pretty precise about that for a criminal/accident investigation.
