We spoke to an eyewitness who was present shortly after the incident occurred at the intersection. They stated that they saw someone lying in the middle of the street, prompting them to stop and assess the situation for ways to offer assistance. While waiting, they witnessed a car hitting the individual and dragging them approximately 10 feet. The St.
