Already known as the worst, meanest driver in Washington, this morning Robert Novak was caught by witnesses driving into a pedestrian and speeding away from the crime scene. Novak was racing down 18th Street through the K St. NW intersection when he hit a much younger man, a 66 year old who was using the crosswalk and had a green walk signal.
The man flew over the hood and over the windshield of Novak's black Corvette before rolling off to the street. Novak sped away, but was chased by a lawyer on a bicycle.
[David] Bono said the pedestrian, who was crossing the street on a "Walk" signal and was in the crosswalk, rolled off the windshield and then Novak made a right into the service lane of K Street. “The car is speeding away. What’s going through my mind is, you just can’t hit a pedestrian and drive away,” Bono said.
The assault was also witnessed by "a WJLA-TV crew and reporter," according to the Politico.
The cops got him and threw him in jail forever. Ha ha, not really. They gave him a ticket for "failing to yield" and let him go. The unidentified 66-year-old victim is in the hospital.
Novak once told the Washington Post that he hated "jaywalkers" and wanted to run them all over.
