Earlier this week, a tow truck driver was preparing to tow away a vehicle in an apartment complex. In the middle of hooking the cable from the SUV to the tow truck in order to drag it up onto the flatbed, the driver ran out, jumped into her car, and drove off. She snapped the cable from the truck and it coiled around the tow truck driver's leg and he was dragged for nearly two miles before finally coming loose from the cable. Articles of clothing, other personal possesions, and blood were spread over the entire route.

I think it's hard to say she definitely knew he was being dragged behind the SUV (as explained by her cousin in an accompanying video). But her route and behavior definitely suggest that she was trying to flee the scene. She drove through the apartment complex's shuffleboard area and through a horseshoe's sand pit before exiting the apartment complex and I don't think she knew where she was fleeing to, given a rather strange route after leaving the complex. After the tow truck driver came loose, she cut through the median and reversed her direction, stopped in a shopping center parking lot to free the cable from her SUV, and then abandoned the vehicle in a strange neighborhood.
Regardless, that was a horrible way to die and a horrible scene for the people who witnessed the dragging.
