Horrific!! I hope surveillance can help investigators track this person down. That’s so awful!
I totally agree!! A young Asian girl was hit by a vehicle a few years ago in Annandale, around the December timeframe, and I don’t think they were able to find who hit her – same situation!! đŸ¥²
Driver should’ve stopped, but driver had right of way and probably didn’t see the guy until it was too late. Why did he walk into oncoming traffic with a green light?
I knew him in high school and he had special needs. He was the sweetest guy. He always said hi to me and gave me a hug. I haven’t seen the video but I think he had trouble walking fast and might have got confused. đŸ˜”
