It still amazes me how things like that can happen in an instant. I am constantly crossing roads when I am in downtown D.C., I'll be paranoid for a while now I guess.
The guy walking even tried to brace for the impact, he didn't stand a chance.
The story I got was that the pedestrian was revived by the paramedics and in ICU.
The PT ran a red light.
The ped is in the middle of the two lane when the Subaru enters the intersection. Hard to say but it looks like the ped might have gotten hit by the Subaru even if there PT hadn't crashed into it.
I think this is the story behind it all.
Car goes airborne, lands on pedestrian in intersection
DAYTON | Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said.
Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air.
The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him.
On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash.
Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage on the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a "AAA" sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end.
