 This article from CSNBS talks about a woman Taliyah Taylor at the age of 24 was high on drugs when she struck a pedestrian and sent him flying. The man Larry Simon, at the age of 24 was and had no relations with the person that hit him. Simon was a lawyer who had previously worked as a prosecutor in the Staten Island District Attorney’s office from 1997 to 2000, was waiting in the median to cross the street and never saw the car, Smith said. Reporters do not know for sure because he was killed on impact. After being hit by the car he was sent into some above ground wires which severing his legs.
Taylor’s car was flipped upside down and slid into a nearby parking lot. She was pulled from the car not wearing any close and not hurt that bad. She was pulled out by a nearby employee working at a hardware store. Before she flipped over she had hit a car that wasn’t to far up the road, not severely hurting the two occupants.
Taylor was charged with Driving Under the Influence and second degree man-slaughter. Other sources say that
Taylor had no idea that she was not wearing any clothes and when she was able to think straight she did not remember anything that happened. She does not even remember smoking or flipping over in her car. They said that she was completely unaware of hitting a pedestrian or the car with the two civilians.
