A crazed carjacker in California dragged an Army vet and beloved grandfather a half-mile to his death after speeding off in the 79-year-old’s car, police said.
James “Jim” Norman was vacuuming out the back of his Chevrolet Trailblazer at an ARCO gas station in Norco at around 12:30 p.m. Monday when Ryan Hewitt, 29, jumped into the front seat, according to cops.
Hewitt sped away with Norman desperately hanging onto the car’s backseat, police said.

Norman was eventually thrown from the car, according to cops.
Investigators found his crumpled body a half-mile from the gas station and just a few miles from his home. Paramedics rushed the septuagenarian to a nearby hospital but his injuries were too severe. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“He was too old and frail to get out before the door slammed on him,” she said. “He knew my dad was hanging, but just panicked and kept going until he fell out of the car.”
