Surveillance video from a nearby business showed the vehicle after impact, appearing to carry the teenagers several feet before they are thrown onto the roadway. Other images revealed multiple cars driving around the teens, but no one immediately stopped to help.
At this time, it is unclear if anyone called 911 right after the crash.
A local business owner noted that this street brings a lot of different problems, particularly, accidents like these.
“It’s a very conflicting area. There are a lot of accidents. Way too many accidents,” he said.
He also expressed that people should have stopped to help the injured teens. He emphasized that if it were a family member, no one would want others to drive off and leave the scene.
“The person who ran them over didn’t stop to help those kids,” the business owner said. “A truck and another car stopped and didn’t render aid.”
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call the police or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
