What in the world was he doing out in his wheelchair at 3:50 a.m.? I still hope they catch whomever hit him, but that question still remains.

At that time in the morning, if the guy stopped, no problem because the guy that got hit was not in a crosswalk or at a corner. Probabily hit by a drunk or a person without a license or both. Any bets the driver has a Z in their name?
