From a description of a traffic accident:
El impacto se ha producido claramente en carríl derecho. Se lo ha llevado puesto literalmente.
Any help would be appreciated here. I feel like I should know it, but I'm just drawing a blank and can't find a translation for this that fits the context.

Hit into something and drag it along / Ran over someone
Si el accidente fue con otro auto, recomendaría la primera opción. Por ejemplo, podrías decir algo como "They hit into it and dragged it for a few miles" (aunque recomendaría también agregar más contexto de quién sería el "they" y quien el "it" para que fluya con el resto del texto, claro). La otra opción funcionaría mejor si se trata de un accidente involucrando una persona.
Espero te ayude!

Example sentence:
The blue car hit into the red one and dragged it for three miles.
He was fully ran over!

: Así lo entiendo también: perhaps "... literally dragging [it/him/they]" (?)

Quaere: the (Lat. Am. ?) Spanish-speaking country of origin (on Cuba: caught trying to do a hit-&-run), as I doubt hailing from the Spanish mainland or even islands.

AllegroTrans
: Where does it say face-off? Or is this derived entirely from your imagination?
