I read "Wife of man dragged by van wants justice" her husband was hit by a van and was drug by the vehicle for 20 miles on wednesday. The man was a Ecuadorean immigrant and this was the 3rd ecuadorean immigrant that has died fatally in new york in the past 3 months. The man was on his was to lay tile for work in Brooklyn when he was hit by a SVU at cross lights and then he was impaled by steel plate on the underside of a van, and dragged nearly 20 miles. The first man called the police to find the man gone, the second driver thought he had something under is vehicle but had stopped and didnt see anything so he continued to drive for 20 miles and one hour later a pedestrian noticed the mans body under his van and they notified the authorities.The man was 26 years old. I read this and the first thought in my head was what the heck you are telling me you drag somebody under your vehicle for 20 miles and you dont notice it? Well i guess it happens but i think the one at fault here was the guy that hit him at the cross walk but he did do what he was supposed to by calling the police. Well overall this was a sad situation and to bad somebody had to die so horribly i just feel bad for the family.

WOW...That's so sad! I really can't believe someone wouldn't know that they were dragging a body...especially for 20 minutes!! It's really sad that there has been three eduadorean immigrants that have died in the last three month; that is just ridiculous!
Oh my goodness! That is so sad!! How could anyone run over a guy and not even notice?? Wouldn't you think that other people would have saw this man in the street and mybe stopped traffic so the man was not hit again and drug under a SUV for 20 miles? That's just not right! I feel so bad for that man and his family! :(
