Surely you'd see something. Even if driving while texting (which is the only possibility I can think of for not seeing a guy roll over your hood in daylight), you'd hear something...like a sickening thud.

Syndicated columnist and TV political pundit Robert D. Novak said he was issued a $50 citation by D.C. police this morning after he hit a pedestrian while driving his sports car in downtown Washington.

After Novak had driven about a block from the scene, he said, he was flagged down by several witnesses, including a bicycle messenger who called D.C. police.

Novak said the messenger was "shouting at me that I couldn't just hit people and drive away.

Novak Veers Too Far Right, Hits Pedestrian

Novacula at a light, someone walks in front of him as he's starting, this unbalances the pedestrian who falls over on the hood. All this at slow speed and nobody is hurt.

In that case, what happened ime was that the ped would slam the car hood with a hand, screaming at the driver, the driver would scream back etc until the driver decided it was time to speed off and that would be that.

Not that I'm saying that it happened this way, but  I can see a possibility that he wasn't leaving an injured person on the scene, or where he even thought that police should be involved.

A 93-year-old driver apparently suffering from dementia fatally struck a pedestrian Wednesday night and drove for three miles with the man's body through his windshield, the police said. The driver, Ralph Parker, was stopped after he drove through a toll booth on the Sunshine Skyway in St. Petersburg. The toll taker called the police. Mr. Parker will probably not face charges because he did not appear to know what happened or where he was.

Novak, who was on his way to work when the incident occurred, said the bicyclist was "shouting at me that I couldn't just hit people and drive away. But I didn't know I'd hit him. I really didn't have any idea it happened until they flagged me down and told me."

Asked whether he believed Novak's account of not seeing the pedestrian, bicyclist David A. Bono said, "No, I would not believe that."

Bono, 47, a partner at Harkins Cunningham law firm, said: "I can tell you what I saw. I was on K Street on my bicycle, and what I saw was a guy get hit by a black Corvette convertible. I see the guy go up on the hood, up on the windshield." As the Corvette turned right from 18th Street onto the service road beside K, Bono said, "the guy rolled off the hood and landed on the street."

He even has his glasses on.

according to the coroner, the man was still alive at that point, had he been attended to in a timely manner, he'd most likely have survived. unfortunately, after (i think) three days in the garage, impaling the windshield, he died.

she stated that she thought he was dead when she drove home, which is why she never contacted the police or medical services.

And, no, there's nothing funny about it at all.  

But Novak would have us believe that he was oblivious to the fact that he hit a man who was "splayed" across his windshield, according to at least one eyewitness, who happens to be in the legal profession.

Novak, as I said, is an accomplished liar.
