Hit and Run Accident Caught on Video
The video below is disturbing on several levels. First, 78 year-old Angel Torres was struck and seriously injured while crossing a street in Hartford, Connecticut when two vehicles sped down the street and struck him while he was standing in the opposite lane of traffic.
Second, nearby bystanders apparently stood by and did not immediately help the seriously injured man. It is incredible to think that after seeing a man flip in the air after being hit by a speeding car that anyone would hold back their assistance.
We hope that Mr. Torres has a speedy and full recovery. We also hope that the drivers of the two hit-and-run cars are arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
