Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, CA
The weather may have played a role in a horrific accident in Vallejo that happened Tuesday night. A man was hit by a car and then dragged by another one. He did not survive. The Vallejo man, who was disabled, was first hit at Broadway and Hogan and then dragged nearly a mile to the intersection of Mini and Stanford Drive. It was 6 p.m., dark and the roads were wet. So weather is definitely a factor that investigators are examining. Witnesses say the 89-year-old driver of a Mercedes didn't realize he had dragged a pedestrian nearly half a mile down the road until he was flagged down.
