A man has died after he was dragged by his girlfriend's car along the East Freeway, severing his arm, police said.
Dewey Whitehead, 43, who had a post office mailing address in Buna, suffered multiple injuries and died at Ben Taub Hospital, investigators said.
Whitehead was in the passenger seat of a car driven by his 24-year-old girlfriend, whose name was not released. She stopped the car in the 9900 block of the East Freeway near the 610 Loop around 3:20 p.m. Tuesday, and Whitehead walked to the driver's side door, investigators said.
Whitehead's arm somehow became trapped in the car's door, but police did not explain how this happened. The girlfriend accelerated, dragging Whitehead and severing his arm.
The girlfriend was taken into custody for questioning. The investigation is continuing as police continue gathering witness statements.
Hey, no one's perfect...
ROTFL... I think I've heard that song ("She took me for a ride, but wouldn't let me in the car")
You know those Texans, gotta overdo everything.
Woo hoo! Another item to add to my growing list of "weird things happening in Houston and Texas". I think the Houston area is the weirdness epicenter of the country, for some reason.
You GOTTA share that lis!

Houston ping.
Another evil vehicle maiming innocent human life.
When will the humans learn not to trust these evil machines?
That has to be extortion or bribery...or the teacher was, perhaps, your mom.
I lost an arm on a date once. Had to chew the damn thing off... Ok, ok, an old joke.

She musta been Coyote Ugly...
Not that I qualify yet, but
1) Who cares?
2) If one can still pluck the grapes, why settle for raisins?
She was a 20 something black lady. Im as white as you can get. Ya never know though....;)
I've got to hand it to you, that's an alarming story.
Am I the only one who laughed when they read that name?
Who cares?
Too true. If the person doesn't care and they are willing to pay the price its no ones buisness but their own.
I just think they look stupid. Just my opinion and I know what they say about opinions. ;)
The young ones....ahhh..they rip off your arms. The old ones...they chase you out into traffic with their "house dress" on wielding a butter knife. Ain't love grand...
