Filmmaker Dewey Green allegedly repeatedly rear-ended Janice Pitts' car on a Douglasville, Georgia highway on Wednesday afternoon and crushed her with his SUV when she got out to inspect the damage. Pitts' daughter, Iesha Davis, watched in horror as the motorist then backed over her mother, killing her in a random road rage attack. 'I m banging on the window, Please, you're crushing my mom, you're crushing my mom. Please, you're crushing my mom',' Davis told WSB-TV. 'He wouldn't look at me. He kept his face straight and kept his foot down on the gas. He backed up, my mom's body dropped.' Davis, whose infant child was also sitting in the car, continued: 'After that, I just completely lost it. I don't understand why. I don't understand why. 'I'll never ever get the image of my mom lifeless body lying on the pavement and the man ran her over like she was nothing.' Pitts, a two time cancer survivor, just found out she was expecting a child with her partner Tyrone Williams. He paid tribute to her on his Facebook page with a series of photos. 'My heart is soooooo f***** heavy at this moment right now... DAMN!!!!' he wrote.

"He just didn't seem right" the last couple of days". Ya think? 4 27 icsheeple, Somewhere in the Outback, Australia, 4 days ago I'm sorry, but who gets out of their car to "inspect the damage" when some lunatic is repeatedly backing up and slamming into your car? Might not a better option have been to take his plate number? I mean, he was repeatedly backing into the front of her car, which suggests she had plenty of opportunity to get his plate number. I'm sorry for this poor woman's death, but you have to question her judgment. Maybe the fact that she got pregnant at age 53 gives further insight into that questionable judgment. Again, I'm sorry, but I really don't understand the thought processes in situations such as this. STAY IN YOUR CAR...YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A HOMICIDAL MANIAC!!!!!

icsheeple, Somewhere in the Outback, Australia, 4 days ago Okay, just realized he was ramming her from behind, not from in front, but the same basic principal that you don't get out of your car when somebody has done this 5 times in a row for no apparent reason still applies. Worrying about the damage to your car instead of your life in a situation like this is just not wise. 21 12 dosse, atx, United States, 4 days ago I can't believe the people in the comments excusing his behavior and even calling him a good person. 3 41 fabienne, port Au prince, Haiti, 4 days ago Dangerous white man again...and a 53 years old pregnant woman? I think it's a hate crime. 24 30 icsheeple, Somewhere in the Outback, Australia, 4 days ago It's obviously a crime committed under the influence of some kind of drug. Not necessarily a hate crime, but you can't rule out the possibility either. 14 13 EBOWARRIOR, HULL END OF THE WORLD, United Kingdom, 4 days ago Hope he gets it bad in jail. 3 38 The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.
