   A Pennsylvania man was busted in a gruesome hit-and-run crash   
   after troopers found the severed half of a woman’s body inside   
   his mangled car, authorities said.   
      
   Jose Antonio Santiago, dressed in blood-splattered clothes,   
   flagged down troopers hours later and bizarrely claimed he never   
   hit anyone and wasn’t “a bad person” authorities said.   
      
   The 33-year-old was leaving an Allentown bar about 9 p.m. on   
   Sunday when he allegedly mowed down two adult sisters, one from   
   Brooklyn, who were walking along the roadway.   
      
   The collision cut Anna Lewis, 62, of Allentown in half and badly   
   injured her sibling, 51-year-old Rosalie Carlo.   
      
   The driver sped off, leaving behind a broken window, rear-view   
   mirror and the front grill of his car.   
      
   State police canvassed the area for nearly four hours before   
   Santiago stopped them. He reportedly told troopers he’d learned   
   about a hit-and-run crash from WMFZ-TV, but insisted it couldn’t   
   have been him.   
      
   “I didn’t hit anyone,” Santiago babbled, according to an   
   affidavit. “I would’ve stopped. I’m not a bad person.”   
      
   He reportedly admitted knocking back a few drinks at Stooges Bar   
   before driving.   
      
   “I was just bringing my friend home, and it all happened so   
   fast,” he allegedly told troopers. “I didn’t hit anyone. If I   
   did, I would’ve stopped.”   
      
   He pointed troopers to his badly damaged Saab where they made   
   the ghastly discovery.   
      
   A trooper reported seeing a woman’s gloved hand and the top of   
   her head on floor of the passenger side.The windshield was   
   smashed and front grill missing.   
      
   The county coroner later removed what was left of the body and   
   confirmed it belonged to Lewis.   
      
   Carlo was rushed to St. Luke’s University Hospital with a broken   
   wrist and severe internal injuries, the Express-Times reported.   
      
   The surviving sibling blasted Santiago for her sister’s death.   
      
   “I hope he rots in hell,” Carlo told the Express-Times from her   
   hospital bed. “It’s not right. My sister was a good woman.”   
      
   Troopers noted Santiago’s pants were stained red with what   
   appeared to be “body matter,” and he reeked of booze.   
      
   He refused to discuss details of the crash once he was taken   
   into custody, police said.   
      
   They booked him on multiple charges related to causing a deadly   
   crash.   
      
   He was held on $275,000 bail.
