His mother, Caren Woodruff, said he texted these words before his death: “I just want you to know how thankful I am for you.”
--------------------------
I'll go out on a limb and say the hit and run driver is local. Few tourists know how to get out of the French Quarter and make it to the West Bank via the CCC (Crescent City Causeway).
I cannot imagine hitting someone then dragging their body for 6 miles under my vehicle and remembering that I was a killer for the rest of my entire life. Oh, the extreme horror of this crime is mind-blowing.
My sincere condolences to Joshua Woodruff's dear family and loved ones. :rose:
