NEW YORK (AP) — A pedestrian killed after he was hit by an SUV, then trapped under another vehicle and dragged nearly 20 miles, was identified Thursday as a 26-year-old Ecuadorean immigrant recently laid off from a construction job.

A cousin identified the man as Guido Salvador Carabajo-Jara, police said. Officers had found only a business card, Western Union receipt and iPhone in his pockets after his battered body was discovered in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Police said the gruesome death was accidental and that they have no plans to charge the two drivers, who both have clean driving records.

Carabajo-Jara's body was to undergo an autopsy Thursday so authorities can try to determine when he died. The miles of dragging wore off the hair on the back of his head and his clothing and skin on his legs and buttocks.

Carabajo-Jara had been recently laid off from a construction job. He lived in Queens, though it wasn't clear for how long. He was apparently unmarried and shared an apartment with his cousin and sister. His mother lives in Ecuador, police said.

He was hit Wednesday morning in the Corona section of Queens, while apparently crossing against the light. The driver, Gustavo Acosta, called police, who arrived to find the victim gone.

About two vehicles behind, though, Manual Lituma Sanchez ran over Carabajo-Jara with his van, and Carabajo-Jara became hooked to the underside of the van. Unaware of anything wrong, Lituma Sanchez drove to Brooklyn, ending up in Brighton Beach, where he worked as a delivery man, police said.

At one point, he even suspected something was wrong, pulled over and checked under the hood. But he did not look under the car.

"I didn't feel anything, and I didn't hear anything," Lituma Sanchez told reporters Wednesday. "I didn't know what happened."

The van traveled for nearly an hour before a pedestrian alerted the driver to something dragging under the van. It was only then that Lituma Sanchez saw the body and called authorities.
