Old people shouldn't drive :(
DAYTON | Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said.
Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air.
The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him.
On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash.
Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage on the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a "AAA" sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end.
DAYTON | Dayton Fire Department officials Monday said a pedestrian struck Sunday by an SUV at Edwin C. Moses Boulevard and West Third Street was never declared dead by medics nor later revived, as police reported.
"According to our medic crew's report, he was never dead," Assistant Fire Chief John Moore said. "His respirations never stopped and his heartbeat never stopped."
The man, Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, remained in serious condition Monday at Miami Valley Hospital's intensive care unit.
Moore said the department plans to speak with police officials who reported Tegtmeyer died and was later revived. "(Tegtmeyer) had difficulties breathing, and we aided him in breathing. He was delivered to Miami Valley still breathing, and they were able to stabilize him."
The accident, caught on a red light enforcement camera, showed a 2003 PT Cruiser driven by 75-year-old Betty J. Hayslip of New Lebanon traveled at 40 mph through a red light and into the northbound SUV, driven by Albertina L. Walker, 41, of Dayton. The speed limit at the intersection is 35 mph.
Walker was in serious condition Monday at Miami Valley Hospital.
The SUV was traveling at 35 mph when Hayslip struck it in the driver's side.
The SUV flipped two times before landing on its top, careening into Tegtmeyer and dragging him several feet. Tegtmeyer was in a pedestrian crosswalk walking east, but was walking against the red light, according to the tape.
No charges have yet been filed against Hayslip, who was not injured.
The 12-second video of the crash was triggered 28.4 seconds into the red light cycle when Hayslip crossed the buried sensors connected to the signals and cameras.
The camera snapped the rear of the vehicle, a close-up of the rear license plate and a full view of the intersection showing the vehicle traveling through the red light.
Several witnesses, traveling west, were approaching the stop. One witness was traveling east and had stopped for the light.
Tegtmeyer is on record as living in Troy but used a Dayton address to apply last year for a city panhandler's license. "He's not well-known to us," Police Public Information Officer Carol Johnson said. "He wasn't a problem."
She said Tegtmeyer was convicted of a DUI several years ago and "decided not to drive anymore."
