Court documents said Body was heading west when he struck the victim, who then flew into the air. Family members later identified the woman as Kimberly Davidson, 66, who police said was trying to cross Broadway Boulevard last Thursday night around 9:15 p.m.

Police were able to analyze surveillance video and evidence found nearby, including a mirror that had broken off, to determine that Body was behind the wheel of his mother’s Kia Optima when he drove off and left Davidson for dead.

Rajalyn Jones lives across the street from where this happened. She said her mother and stepfather heard the impact and immediately called 911.

“The dude hit the lady and somebody was telling him to stop, at least check on the lady, and he started screaming out the window ‘F-u’ and just kept it going,” Jones said.

Court documents corroborate that account, saying Body cursed at witnesses who yelled for him to stop before speeding away.

“[She’s] someone’s grandma, mom, auntie, sister, daughter – and just to not care after hitting an innocent lady – that was kind of crazy,” Jones said.

Body faces several charges, including accidents involving death or personal injury, failing to render aid, and aggravated assault by vehicle. He was booked in the Allegheny County Jail.

At last check, Davidson remains in critical condition at Forbes Hospital.
