Cox said the crash was an accident and that the pedestrian stepped out in front of the driver who “could not stop.”

“He knocked him (the pedestrian) through his windshield, on top of his car, and the car went on to work,” Cox said. “He knew he hit something but didn’t know what. Then, he got out of his car and saw his body hanging on top of his car, and I guess that’s when PD got involved.”
