Cops: Drunk Driver Fled with Victim "Halfway Through" Windshield
Police arrested a New Jersey man this week for allegedly hitting a 61-year-old pedestrian with his car and driving 1.5 miles with the victim "halfway through the vehicle's windshield."
Vocativ reports 33-year-old Marcos Ortega was charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash and causing serious bodily injury to another on Monday after he passed a police officer "with what looked to be a body on the front of his car" and was immediately pulled over.
Fire department and first aid personnel were then called to extract the victim from Ortega's windshield, who was flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center with serious injuries.
According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, a field sobriety test determined Ortega to be "impaired."
