Default DUI Driver drives 5 miles with HD under car

On the 28th, my stepmothers son was hit in Springhill Fla by a woman doing an estimated 75 plus mph. He was stopped at a light. He is out of the hospital but his passenger is still in ICU.

4 days ago he gets hit by a car doing 75 and hes home? From those of us who were hit the same way, forgive me, its not adding up (ask me how I know).... 5 miles with a bike under her car, unless shes in a totally jacked F150..........

They were very lucky that there still on the earth with us. Lets just hope they lock the driver away for a while and she can get some rehab prayers love to all the families and to all involved.

I actually live about 35 miles from Spring Hill FL. I couldn't find the accident in the local news, unless I missed it. MrMikeFish, can you help us out? That type of accident usually will make headlines around here

I agree, a Harley under a car should physically lift a car enough to prevent it from moving.
As far as survival, the impact may have ejected the stationary rider over the car while accelerating the stopped motorcycle from 0 to 75mph in 2/10th's of a second. Such a vault might be survivable. All a matter of physics..

Agreed but at 75mph this guy is busted up bad. It hurt me to blink after 4 days and I was hit by a guy doing half. Forgive me but I have to call BS on this post. This accident cannot be found anywhere either...

I did a day by day search for Springhill local news for the last thirty days and found nothing. Interesting how they didn't report it !!!
