    Police: DUI Suspect Drove Home With Body In Rear Window After Crash
    Motorcyclist Declared Dead At Fire Station


    PERRIS, Calif. -- A suspected drunken driver crashed with a motorcycle and then left the scene, unknowingly driving away with the motorcyclist's dead body lodged in the rear window of his car, investigators said.

    Tony Martinez, 54, pulled out of a parking lot Saturday night and cut off motorcyclist Nicholas Justin Campbell, who was traveling at about 80 mph, California Highway Patrol spokesman Ron Thatcher said.

    The motorcyle crashed into the car and Campbell was thrown through the rear window, Thatcher said. Martinez then drove away and realized when he got home that the motorcyclist was in his car, Thatcher said.

    Martinez then drove to a Riverside County fire station where 20-year-old Campbell was declared dead, according to the coroner's office.

    Martinez was arrested and booked for investigation of gross vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run and driving under the influence. Bail was set at $75,000.

      Actually, the motorcyclist hit him, right? And since he was stuck in the rear window, he didn't run. So how is this a hit-and-run?

        You're right, Lord A.

        It was the motorcyclist who hit and then left the scene of the accident.

          It depends on whether you give him your credit card.

            It's hit and run, not hit and leave victims behind.
            Left behind or hauled behind, he left.
            What was the speed limit on the road the motorcycle was doing 80? Seems that should be asked.

              Martinez went to the authorities, that is not hit and run. Hit and run doesn't include you reporting to the authorities. This guy was pissed, was hit by another pissed person, didn't realise till abit later and now is probably suffering a nasty hangover.

                Seeing as it was in front of a bar, in CA, in LA nonetheless I'm guessing 45mph, max.

                  Hit and run is a description, the usual actual charge is leaving the scene of an accident, so this qualifies.

                    The mototcycle was going 80, in what you suppose to be a 45 zone. He is screwed, if you're talking motorcycle driver. He's dead.
                    As far as the actual accident, it appears the driver of the car may have a fallback position. The speed of the motorcycle.

                      No, he doesn't. Unless you think being stinking drunk is a defense.

                        A motorcycle hits your car at 80mph and you don't notice?

                        Bull****. BULL****.
