Drunk Driver Hits Pedestrian, Then Drives Over A Mile With Man Lodged In Windshield

Marcos Ortega of New Jersey was driving drunk when he hit a 61-year-old pedestrian…and kept driving with the guy half-way through his windshield for more than a mile!

After receiving alerts about someone driving erratically, an officer finally pulled over intoxicated motorist along Route 9 in Ocean County.

“Ortega continued operating the vehicle for approximately 1.5 miles before being located and stopped by Patrolman Flatt,” said a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
