Just viewing the photo turns me to tears; the heartbreak in the woman's eyes is too much.

"Hit-and-run driver kills college freshman, injures another in Los Angeles" by Associated Press | March 31, 2009
LOS ANGELES - A driver hit two University of Southern California freshmen - killing one - and driving off with the other caught on the hood until stopping to let a passenger out to pull the wounded student off the car, police said yesterday.
Adrianna Bachan, 19, of Santa Barbara, was killed and Marcus Garfinkle, 19, of Scottsdale, Ariz., was seriously injured at about 3 a.m. Sunday when the motorist ran a red light and struck them just north of the campus. Garfinkle was pulled off the car and the passenger got back in and it drove away....
I can't believe the callous inhumanity of some people. I'm sitting here in stunned disbelief!
No arrests had been made yesterday.... Police said there were four or five witnesses to the hit and run, which occurred as the students were returning to campus after attending fraternity parties in the neighborhood.
None of the witnesses saw the car's license plate. Police hoped the public or a car-repair shop worker might spot the vehicle, which has a cracked windshield and a damaged front end.
