Tampabay: Driver goes 3 miles with lodged body

"A 94-year-old motorist struck and killed a pedestrian Wednesday evening, then drove about 3 miles with the body lodged in the windshield until he was stopped at a Sunshine Skyway tollbooth.

The driver told officers he thought the body had fallen from the sky, said St. Petersburg police Officer Mike Jockers.

"He had no idea he had been involved in an accident," Jockers said. "He doesn't totally understand what happened...."
What part of '94 year old motorist' didn't they understand? Heck! At that age, most seniors can't even drive a wheelchair...
