Watch this footage of a skateboarder in Seattle who was involved in a fracas with a car driver before being run over. Driver Otis Harris put his foot down and his front wheels ran over the skater’s stomach breaking his pelvis.
Harris claims to be racially abused (which is obviously well out of order if true) and his car was definitely whacked before he lost his rag at the wheel. Mental situation.

Doodah…
