Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) rushed to the scene of a bizarre hit-and-run accident that occurred Friday afternoon out the window of his campaign office in Cleveland.

David Tvrdik, 68, was leaving a neighboring business when he was struck by a school bus outside Kucinich’s West Side office.

“I was working in my office, and I looked up from the desk and saw Mr. Tvrdik lying in the street,” Kucinich told WKYC Channel 3.

He immediately ran outside to help the man. Kucinich spokesman Doug Gordon said the congressman took Tvrdik’s pulse, checked his breathing and told him that help was coming.

An ambulance arrived and took Tvrdik to a local hospital, but tragically he died of his head injuries a short time later.

Police are still trying to identify the operator of the bus, who did not stop after hitting Tvrdik.

themself in. The reporter interviewed Kucinich. He said all he could do was hold the man and reassure him that help was on the way.

5. I wonder why they haven't been able to ID the driver yet

You'd think there would be logs of who drove which bus where.
