On May 30, 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.
The whole scene was captured by a streetlight surveillance
camera. The images
were shocking.
Now, doctors said that the victim would not be able to
breath on his own. He would have to use a respirator for the rest of his life,
reported the Associated Press.
Torres, who is at Hartford
Hospital, was paralyzed
from the neck down in the hit-and-run accident that shocked the whole world.
Torres’ son, Angel Arce said that his father’s lung
collapsed.
The video showed how Torres 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.
According to Times Online, motorists skillfully passed the
victim, not bothering to stop and take the victim to a hospital.
Hartford Police Chief Daryl Roberts made the video public,
hoping that people would offer information about the person responsible for the
accident.
