WASHINGTON - Syndicated columnist Robert Novak said he has been issued
a $50 citation after hitting a pedestrian while driving in downtown
Washington.

Witnesses said the collision occurred about 10 a.m. Wednesday as the
77-year-old Novak was traveling near K Street in his black Chevrolet
Corvette.

D.C. fire department spokesman Alan Etter said the victim was taken to
George Washington University hospital with minor injuries.

Novak told WJLA-TV he was cited for failing to yield the right of way.
He said he didn't realize what happened and continued driving until a
bicyclist stopped him.

David Bono, the bicyclist who witnessed the incident, told The
Associated Press that the pedestrian was hit in a crosswalk and was
splayed across Novak's windshield.

How classy.  He hits a pedestrian, guy was "splayed across his
widshield" and he tries to run, claiming he didnt see him.  If he was
black, he'd probably have been tazed.
