Hit and Run: Bob Novak Smashes Pedestrian With Black Corvette

Already known as the worst, meanest driver in Washington, this morning Robert Novak was caught by witnesses driving into a pedestrian and speeding away from the crime scene. Novak was racing down 18th Street through the K St. NW intersection when he hit a much younger man, a 66 year old who wasusing the crosswalkand had agreen walk signal.

The man flew over the hood and over the windshield of Novak's black Corvette before rolling off to the street. Novak sped away, but was chased by a lawyer on abicycle.

[David] Bono said the pedestrian, who was crossing the street on a "Walk" signal and was in the crosswalk, rolled off the windshield and then Novak made a right into the service lane of K Street. “The car is speeding away. What’s going through my mind is, you just can’t hit a pedestrian and drive away,” Bono said.

The assault was also witnessed by "a WJLA-TV crew and reporter," according to thePolitico.

The cops got him and threw him in jail forever. Ha ha, not really. They gave him a ticket for "failing to yield" and let him go. The unidentified 66-year-old victim is in the hospital.

Novak once told theWashington Postthat he hated "jaywalkers" and wanted to run them all over.
