What happened this afternoon around 2:30 on Atlantic and Bedford? Looked like a terrible car accident. The body was still on the street, but the only thing intact were the shoes and the legs, the upper part of the body was covered, but there was not much left to be covered. So sad. What happened? Was this a pedestrian who got hit?
Be careful crossing Atlantic...

    How terrible. I got hit on Atlantic and Washington in the spring. Taxi ran a red light and hit me in the crosswalk. Be very careful crossing -- drivers are reckless!
