In the beginning

When Lee blasted the driver with the shotgun in the opening scene why did the driver turn into a zombie?

After all, he was "just killed " not bitten by a zombie.

Sorry if this has been posted before, or am I missing something?

    First, we don't know exactly how the driver died. He could have been alive after the accident, then bitten by a zombie, or he could have died, then pulled out of the car by zombies.

    Second, according to the comics, it's irrelevant HOW you die, you turn into a zombie. Everyone is infected already. So, not a chance for the talkative police officer anyway. ;)

    I thought it was kind of obvious the driver was killed by zombies.
    You see and hear a glimpe of the drivers death when lee is passing out.
    You hear screaming, see zombies, hear shots and the driver screaming.
    Obvious isnt it?

    Exactly how I thought it happened lol

    Lee was in and out of consciousness and he heard the driver being killed by zombies.

    1. You do hear him getting attacked by zombies, you just don't see it.
    2. Even if he died a different way, it's The walking dead! Everyone's already infected!

    Yeah, he was screaming and stuff. He must have been attacked because he fired a couple of shots, but his body was found quite a distance away from his shotgun.
