NEW YORK (AP) -- A pedestrian was hit by an SUV, then was caught under a van and dragged nearly 17 miles through New York City early Wednesday before the driver realized what had happened, police said.What was that Tom Petty song?
The mangled body had not been identified. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said investigators were tracing the route searching for remains.
The driver of the SUV notified police after hitting the victim around 6 a.m. Wednesday. However, when police arrived the body was gone.
It's not known if the victim was alive at that point. An autopsy was planned for Thursday.
The van drove on three major city highways from Queens to Brooklyn before the driver stopped to check the vehicle. But he didn't see the body until a pedestrian pointed it out.
The van driver said later that he hadn't seen the initial accident and assumed the drivers of swerving vehicles were avoiding a pothole.
Witnesses reported the driver looked shocked and exhausted while he was interviewed by police.
Police say no criminality is suspected.
