Motorist runs down man at McDonald's drive-thru, grabs food

NEW YORK - A driver struck a man in a McDonald's drive-thru lane in the Queens borough of New York City and then backed up over him to get his food order before fleeing, witnesses say, according to CBS New York.

"It's pretty messed up," a cashier at the fast food giant said of the Saturday morning incident.

"Yeah, just to get their food. Yeah, that is some heartless stuff right there," the employee continued.

It happened so fast that workers didn't get a look at the car or the license plate. They were more concerned about the 48-year-old victim, who was left in critical condition with severe injuries after being rushed to Jamaica Hospital, reports the station.

Witnesses say the victim appeared to be intoxicated before falling and being run over, according to the station.

The NYPD is still searching for the driver and checking surveillance video.
