A Houston driver has been charged with felony failure to stop and render aid after a deputy constable, making a routine traffic stop, discovered a body on the passenger side that had apparently landed there during a traffic accident 10 minutes earlier, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Despite a shattered front windshield, driver James John Onak, 45, told the deputy he didn't realize a dead body with a missing leg was in the passenger seat, police tell the newspaper.
"The impact caused the victim to be impaled through the windshield and it was positioned in the floor board of the passenger side," says police Capt. Jason Finnen, KRIV-TVreports.
