Witnesses say they saw a yellow Chevy Camaro speed away after the impact.

“When you move to the side streets, even for us as residents driving on to the streets, you have to be careful, because there is so much traffic. People are parking and walking around and it’s dark. You can’t see if someone darts out fro behind a car,” said Laura Davenport who owns a home on Candy Cane Lane.
