“We don’t know how anybody could do something like that. It’s the hardest part.”
A woman was allegedly left to die on the side of a major road in the US, after falling off a motorcycle while on a first date, say reports.
Jennifer St. Clair, 33, was found dead around 3 a.m. near an Interstate 95 exit in Pompano Beach, Florida, West Palm Beach’s WPBF-TV reported.
The victim’s family said the man she was on a date with left her on the road to die.
“We don’t know how anybody could do something like that. It’s the hardest part,” said Amy Gamber, the victim’s aunt.
Authorities said she had been struck by several cars while lying in the roadway.
St. Clair’s date picked her up around 10 p.m. Thursday, the family told the Miami Herald.
“That’s all the family knows, that she was on a date with a fellow. They believe they met online somehow,” the family’s attorney, Todd Falzone, told the paper.
“Two other couples, who were also on motorcycles, also went along.”
Florida Highway Patrol officials said St. Clair’s death is being investigated as a traffic homicide.
Some witnesses said they saw a man on a motorcycle standing near the victim’s body and then he took off, the Herald reported.
“She was surrounded by a big family who loves her so much,” Gamber told the paper of her niece.
“We’re still trying to process all of this.”
