Car lands on pedestrian in Intersection - Video
Red Light
DAYTON | Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said. Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air. The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him. On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit. Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash. Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage on the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a "AAA" sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end. Last edited by Nomad; 07-12-2004 at 10:39 AM.. |

Where did the video come from?
Is that the 'reconstruction' video? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm glad that guy made it okay. I was very suprised to see the scoobie go airborne. Amazing that he can live through that, kudos to the medics and doctors that helped him through it.

Again, wow. I couldn't stop watching it.
Two nice details: (1) the guy turning to see the crash he just heard, then trying to outrun the Subaru. (2) the way the headlights on the Subaru point directly at the camera just before the video ends.

1) that damn PT ran the light 2) the guy had to have been just past half way through when the lights turned yellow, homeboy should have been payin a bit more attention and realized the light was gonna turn red before he'd make it to the other side. |

Whats wierd is that if the padestrian was walking <i>in</i> the cross-walk and never heard the crash, he would might have made it even if he never saw it coming and changed course.
I hit a pedestrian once. He jumped on my car and did not want any emergency help. He even went to work afterwards. Later, I get a call from my insurance company that he is sueing me for $15,000. He got it too!

Wow, I live in Dayton and this is the first I've heard of this.
When did it happen? And does anyone know if the guy was flown? My dad flies the medivac helo at Miami Valley Hospital. He might be able to get more info, like if the dude made it through the ICU or not. |

The video Is Real, you can read about It ... here If you do not want to register, I put the page up ... here -Snip- Nine days earlier, a sport utility vehicle struck a pedestrian at Edwin C. Moses Boulevard and West Third Street, after a PT Cruiser ran a red light and hit the SUV. The SUV flipped twice, then hit Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, who remained in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital on Wednesday. The driver has not been charged. That crash was captured by a red-light enforcement camera. Dayton police say the cameras, installed at a dozen intersections across the city, helped reduce injury crashes caused by ignored traffic signals by 28 percent during the past year. |
