My daughter and I heard the loud impact. It was so loud she thought 2 cars crashed. We ran up to our roof with my cellphone ready to record but not expecting to see a person just lying on the ground. It was truly heartbreaking to see an emt bring out the blanket and cover him up. I don’t know why they left the scene open to be viewed by all the passerby. I saw their reaction at seeing a white blanket with blood seeping through, it was horrible. I hope that driver is caught and locked up for many years. Mr. Tran seems like a loving family man. My condolences to his family.
