Elderly Motorist Drives with Victim in Windshield

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -Oct. 21, 2005 -- A 93-year-old Florida man apparently suffering from dementia probably won't face charges after running down a pedestrian and then driving with the man's body stuck through his windshield.

Police say Ralph Parker was eventually stopped at a toll booth on the Sunshine Skyway in St. Petersburg.

A spokesman for the state attorney's office says Parker didn't appear to know what happened or where he was. The victim has been identified as a 52-year-old man.

Parker's license was renewed in 2003. He had been living alone since his wife died in 1998.
