D.C. Hit and Run Results in Catastrophic Injuries

Late last month, at around 10:30 p.m. on a Friday night, thirty-five-year-old Todd Beckett was riding his motorcycle on 13th Street in Northwest D.C. when he was hit by a vehicle. After the car hit Mr. Beckett, three teenage girls got out of the car and yelled to the driver not to back up. But the driver did back up over Mr. Beckett, and dragged him for more than one block before he got free.

Mr. Beckett suffered serious injuries and required three surgeries in the first week following the accident. More surgeries are expected.

The driver of the car left the scene of the accident and has not yet been identified. The girls say they met the driver through Facebook. The car has been identified and located. The owner of the car, who was allegedly a passenger in the car on the night of the accident, is under investigation because he is reportedly not cooperating with police.

Mr. Beckett is married. He mentors teens and volunteers at his church. He was two blocks from home when this catastrophic accident occurred.

We extend our best wishes to Mr. Beckett for a full and speedy recovery.
