A man died Wednesday after being hit by two vehicles and his corpse was dragged for 17 miles through Queens to Brooklyn.
Police say the man was hit by one vehicle at 108th street and 51st avenue in Corona at about 6 a.m.
The driver stopped to report the incident, and as he did the victim was hit again by a van, and dragged underneath it.
The car then traveled 17 miles on the Grand Central Parkway, Van Wyck Expressway, then west on the Belt Parkway, ending up at Brighton Beach.
"He did stop once during his trip, he reported, but he didn't see anything unusual," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "And he got back in the car, and again people are signaling him to stop the vehicle. He stops his vehicle and that's when the body is discovered under his car."
Authorities are not sure whether the man was alive when he was hit the second time. His body was badly damaged and has yet to be identified.
As of Wednesday evening, no charges have been filed against either driver.
