Green Party Candidate Dies After Being Struck By An SUV

From The Huffington Post

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — A Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in Maryland has died after being hit by an SUV while riding her bike.
Maryland State Police say 30-year-old Natasha Pettigrew died early Tuesday. She was hit by an SUV in Prince George's County early Sunday.
Police say the woman driving the Cadillac Escalade that hit Pettigrew kept driving nearly four miles to her home, even though the bicycle was still lodged underneath the vehicle.
Police say the woman thought she hit a deer or a dog and didn't want to stop in the early morning hours. When she and her husband found the bicycle under the SUV, they called police.

-Sorry,I don't believe it.I'm willing to bet you there's more to this story. Will keep you guys posted.

  1. Wait, so they kept driving for four miles and thought they hit a deer? Didn't they see the bike when they hit it???

  2. Sounds strange doesn't it? I refuse to believe that anyone driving an SUV (Cadillac Escalade) would hit something and not at least pull over to see if the SUV was damaged. This just doesn't sound right.
