Check it out … the journalist and a bystander are chatting on a sidewalk when a loud screeching sound is heard off-camera. The silver sedan avoids crashing into an SUV, but seconds later drives head-on into a parked minivan.
The driver immediately abandons the vehicle, running down the neighborhood street … while another person crawls out of the passenger seat and calls out for help. Eyewitnesses soon flock to the car, assisting the injured male by dragging him away from the crash — despite his pain-filled protests.
