— Amy Hollyfield (@amyhollyfield) May 29, 2014According to the news station, the man they had been interacting with suddenly collapsed, however, other news reports say the man "laid down" behind the vehicle. One of the two men ran inside to ask the gas clerk to call 911.
The driver, presumably attempting to dodge police, got in the car and tried to drive away, running over the victim on the ground.
"He was run over by the vehicle," Sgt. Chris Breen told KTVU. "The pedestrian was trapped under the vehicle for five minutes possibly as long as 10 minutes. "
Firefighters arrived at the scene to extract the pinned man; he was taken to a local hospital with a critical head wound. The driver, who was reportedly confrontational with police, was taken into custody with blood alcohol tests pending.
