A dumb suspected criminal named Timothy M. Kissada allegedly tried to cash and clunker his vehicle after hitting a bicyclist and leaving the scene. This fatal accident was attempted to be covered up by the suspect by turning in his vehicle into the "Cash for Clunkers" program. He is no BMW bandit, but still it is not very smart if you commit a crime to hand over the weapon of choice directly to the government. Doh! Timothy claimed that he hit a wild pig in the desert, justifying the dents and blood on his BMW 325i as he used the government program to ditch evidence. This was really stupid!
This unfortunate accident occurred near Phoenix, Arizona on August 8, 2009 around midnight. The bicyclist, Charles Waldrop, is stated to have used lights and reflectors. However, despite his avid bicycling tactics he was hit and killed by the alleged suspect during a ride home from work. The BMW 325i is not exactly a soft vehicle! Proven performance of the 3 series on the Nurburgring ensures hard metal and thicker than average stock body paneling combined with the inertia of the heavy sedan leaves little room for survival upon impact for any pedestrian caught in it's way. Designed for high speed impacts, these vehicles are have an extremely hard exterior.
The first moment of operation hours, the suspect then tried to turn in his vehicle into the cash for clunkers program in an effort to ditch the possible evidence. The dealership suspected fowl play and alerted authorities immediately, leading to the arrest of Timothy M. Kissada. By the looks of the suspect, illegal drugs are widely thought to be part of the fowl play that leaded to the unfortunate death of Charles Waldrop. Had he stopped to help Charles instead of running away like a coward, he might have survived!
To get an appropriate idea of how hard a BMW 325i can be upon collision, check out the following crash test of the 2006 BMW 3 series. Extremely crash resilient and very capable of a pedestrian style hit and run, the BMW 3 series can be moderately wrecked and still operated. Designed with heavy duty frame rails, thick body paneling, and a smooth aerodynamic setup makes this BMW an excellent choice to keep the driver safe during an accident. As for the opposing pedestrian, the angle of the vehicle and lower stance suggests a very sour outcome of snapped bones, broken vertibrate, and ultimately death.

Isn't it easy to say how stupid.. how easy it is to assume because he traded in his car that he was covering his tracks. Is it not possible that he really believed that he had hit an animal at 12 o clock at night over a man riding a bicycle. Do you know that the man was on the bike? Mr. Kissada was previously scheduled to move to NJ via his vehicle days later, with the cars for clunkers program expiring it was his first natural instinct to trade his totaled car in. Sometimes i think it is just too easy to see the accused as a monster, and harder to swallow the truth behind an absolute accident. The victims family and the media wants a face to blame and an article to write. Starting with that photograph.. that is not what Tim Kissada even looks like.
