Man dragged down freeway by girlfriend's car dies

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.

Have to disagree with you on that. When I was in my 20's and without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of I ran through at least 200 women and some were wealthy

Really good girls are the ones you marry. Not F#$%, like you did.

200 ? Never met a male slut before, how are ya ? :)

My girl friend is 23 yrs younger and she does not find my appeal to be my wallet. In fact, she could care less about that. My attraction to her was not due to the age difference. I think that it is dangerous to generalize about matters of the heart.

Sorry. I am describing one of the standard urban homicide techniques, thought I was being clear enough. Get the target to put his arm into the car window, grab it, take off.

This business was almost certainly a planned homicide. The cops obviously know this.

Yep. Clara Harris ran over her hubby THREE times and claimed
it was an accident.

And that is the Chante Mallard case you correctly describe, too.

Here are links to those cases, article posted here on FR:

No offense taken. People are individuals and I take them as such hence have loved ladies of all ages without seeking any particular age. Some people are mature at 25 and others never are. Besides I am rather young at heart.

This is wonderfully ironic that this thread has mutated into a discussion of keeping healthy to be able to date younger women.

Hey, the passenger seat..not so bad ;)

If so, she hardly could have picked a busier stretch of Interstate 10 to do it.

Can the subject and predicate be any further apart? I mean outside of the German language?

Rather than grabbing an arm I was thinking along the lines of rolling up the power window. Those motors are powerful and can easily keep a man's arm better than a person holding it.
