Was at a friend house watching TV and we saw an old guy that lived down the street walking towards the door in a hurry. Right before he got there a car drove across the yard and ran him over and never stopped. We ran outside to help but there wasn't much we could do. One of his arms was basically ripped off and hanging by just a few pieces of meat and his skull was cracked open and we could see into his skull. He was still alive and was screaming out for somebody to help him. We tried talking to him but he was obviously in shock and didn't know we were there. We got some blankets to cover him up and called 911. An ambulance was there within minutes and they took him to the hospital where he died later in the day.
We later found out from the police that it was his grand-daughter that ran him over. She was staying with him and they had a fight where she pulled a knife on him and threatened to kill him. He ran out of the house and made it a few houses down the street before he saw his own car go up onto the sidewalk to run him over. The grand-daughter was chased for 2 hours at close to 100MPH before she ran out of gas and was caught.
My grandfather was in the process of planning for a reunion of his Army unit from WWII and he was having trouble finding his Lt. The day after the accident he read the paper and saw the article about the man I had seen run over, it was his Lieutenant. I had seen a man that had fought and survived with him in the Pacific run over by a drunk 20 year old.
The weird thing is that when the man was run over a lot of blood spilled out into the grass. For the next year that spot would grow 3X as fast as the rest of the grass in the yard. Amazing what a good fertilizer blood is.
