Man dies after struck by car driven by girlfriend -This smells funky like a homicide lowering move

In what police are calling an accident, a man died after his girlfriend ran over him outside a Lawndale medical clinic where the couple had just been told they were expecting a child.
Michael Santiago, 21, and Arely Torres, 19, of Cicero had left the clinic around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday after getting confirmation of a home-pregnancy test
Witnesses told police that Santiago was leaning into an open passenger side door of a Volkswagen, speaking with Torres who was behind the wheel, when she sped forward, said Samantha Santiago, 23. The door struck Santiago, who hit another car and landed on the ground, where he was run over by the Volkswagen.
Torres was cited with driving too fast for conditions. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was tested for alcohol and drugs, which is routine for fatal accidents, police said. The Police Major Accident Investigation Unit is investigating.
