A person was hit by a car, then swept under a van and dragged nearly 17 miles along busy New York City motorways before the driver realised, police said.

The badly damaged body has not yet been identified.
Raymond Kelly, the police commissioner of New York, said investigators were tracing the route to search for body parts.
The first driver notified police after hitting the person at around 6 am on Wednesday.
In the meantime, the second driver drove over the victim. It is not clear whether the person was alive at that point.
The second driver drove the van on three New York City highways from Queens to Brooklyn before stopping to check the vehicle. But he did not see the body until a pedestrian pointed it out.
Police said no criminal act was suspected.
