Darwin shoots... HE SCORES !

HARRISON, N.Y. - Police say a man riding outside a moving car on a suburban New York highway was thrown onto the roadside and died.

Witnesses saw Maxwell Grullon, 28, of Yonkers, thrown from the white Jeep in a northbound lane of Interstate 95 Saturday night in Harrison. Police say Grullon was seen riding on the outside of the car, standing on the running boards of the car. The Jeep switched from the left to right lanes before Grullon fell off onto the right shoulder at about 10:30 p.m.

Police say the Jeep stopped for a short time and then kept driving. Police later located the driver, but hadn't filed charges. An autopsy was planned for Grullon.

Traffic was backed up for hours and spectators gathered along a nearby overpass while police investigated the scene.
