Last Friday, Angel Arce Torres, 78, from Hartford, Connecticut
was run over by a car travelling on the wrong side of the road. Moreover, the
car didn’t stop to see what happened with the victim and, what’s even more
unbelievable, was the fact that nine cars drove by the man without stopping.
According to Times Online, motorists skillfully passed the
victim, not bothering to stop and take the victim to a hospital.
If you can’t believe that someone could do something like
this, if you can’t believe that people seem not to care at all about other
people, the whole scene was captured by a streetlight surveillance camera. The
images are shocking.
The video shows how Torres, who is now paralyzed in
hospital, was trying to cross the street, after he had bought some milk. A
Honda travelling on the wrong side of the street hit the man and continued its
route.
Wednesday, Hartford Police Chief Daryl Roberts made the
video public, hoping that people would offer information about the person responsible
for the accident.
The police arrived at the accident site a minute later and
transported Torres to a hospital.
Apparently, for people called 911 after the incident occurred.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Gov. M. Jodi Rell called
the video "beyond chilling."
