ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) -- A 93-year-old driver apparently suffering from dementia fatally struck a pedestrian and drove for three miles with the man's body through his windshield, police said.

Ralph Parker was stopped after he drove through a tollbooth on the Sunshine Skyway, Traffic Homicide Investigator Michael Jockers said. The toll taker called police, he said.

Parker was not likely to face charges because he did not appear to know what happened or where he was, said Bruce Bartlett, chief assistant in the Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney's Office.

"He may have somewhere in his mind have realized it was a crash, but immediately forgot about it," Jockers said.

The victim's leg was severed in the Wednesday night crash, police said. The man, whose name was not released, was 52.

Parker had renewed his license in 2003.

"That was the one thing he had, to get in his car and just drive for the sheer enjoyment of driving," Jockers said. Parker lived alone after his wife died in 1998, authorities said.

They should take driver's licenses away at age 75, and thats a very liberal age limit too.

Theres no way a hard age limit would work.

Ironic Mustache · 10-21-2005, 07:27 PM

Who thought renewing a 91 year old with dementia's license was a good idea?

Hehe. I read this on another forum. He was true driving enthusiast though, as it was the only thing he enjoyed doing.

Carnivorous Flavor · 10-21-2005, 09:42 PM

maybe he enjoyed killing more?

Lucy Fur · 10-21-2005, 09:43 PM

I think people should be executed at age 75.

They are basically useless by that point.
