NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- An unlicensed driver who was driving high hit a 33-year-old man riding a motorized scooter in Clinton Hill on Wednesday and fatally dragged him underneath her SUV, according to police.
Andrew Thomas was stopped at a red light on his scooter at the intersection of Clifton Place and Classon Avenue around 1:12 p.m. when Rachel Golden, 45, slammed into him from behind, officials said.
