Hit-and-run caught on video; Witnesses walk on by
It's awfully quiet here in the South Bay today, so check out this video released by the Hartford, Conn. police. Police Chief Daryl Roberts vented his frustrations to reporters the other day about the callous response -- or lack of response -- of residents to a hit-and-run last week. The entire scene was caught on surveillance video.
The videotape shows the 78-year-old victim lying injured the middle of the street as motorists and pedestrians pass by his paralyzed body.
"I'm ashamed to say our city has a toxic relationship with ourselves," Roberts said.
The raw video without any commentary is after the jump.
