"A Brooklyn pedestrian was killed a bizarre hit-and-run after grabbing onto the driver's side door of a box truck that hit him and refusing to let go, hanging on for nearly seven blocks before falling into the roadway and being struck by the driver again, police said on Monday. Nasir Nadim may have been trying to confront the driver, who is still being sought, after the initial collision"
"Nadim, 59, was walking near Clinton and State Sts. in Brooklyn Heights when he was hit by the 2019 Freightliner box truck shortly before 1 p.m. on Jan. 23, according to police. Nadim then grabbed onto the driver's side door and held on as the driver kept going for approximately 600 feet north on Clinton St. to Cadman Plaza, where Nadim fell and was struck again by the truck, cops said."
