LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Police say a man who was lying in the
middle of a street in downtown Lincoln when he was hit and dragged
by a van has died.
Authorities say David Coulter, of Lincoln, died Sunday, more
than three weeks after he was hit. Officer Katie Flood told the
Lincoln Journal Star that police were never able to interview him.
Flood says Coulter was lying in the street about 10:30 p.m. on
May 19 when he was hit. The driver told police he realized he was
dragging something and stopped. He found Coulter pinned under the
van and called for help.
Flood says Coulter’s blood-alcohol content was more than three
times the limit for drunken driving.
No tickets have been issued. The Lancaster County attorney’s
office is investigating
