WhiteSox fan Chuck Janczy on harrowing hit-and-run at Guaranteed Rate Field: 'I'm lucky to be alive.' scotgregor has the story.
Just like he does 20-25 times a season, Chuck Janczy headed down Tuesday night to Guaranteed Rate Field to catch a White Sox game.
In a chaotic scene outside Guaranteed Rate Field, three of the pedestrians hit by the car were treated on the street."I do remember, like, falling into the sunroof," Janczy said."How the hell exactly that happened, I don't know. It's kind of morbid to think about it, but if you hit some crash dummy doll 100 times, what is the likelihood that one of them would fall into the sunroof? I think it would have to be pretty low.
"I don't know if the guy hit somebody else or he had to slow down for a minute so maybe the momentum kind of allowed me to fall in. I don't know. It all happened all so fast that I don't really ... I never was really observing anything at that point." "They took off because the police were chasing them," Janczy said."I'm hanging upside-down in the car and I'm not sure if my legs were hanging out or not. They must have been. That's all I can think of, but I'm not 100% sure of that. Kind of.""I saw a little bit of them and I heard them talking a little bit," Janczy said."I was wearing sandals and I lost one of the sandals during all this.
"The whole thing took, it seemed like seconds. It was longer than that, but it seemed like everything happened so fast. I must have climbed down myself, but I don't really remember. I remember the cops were like, 'Get out of the car!' and I'm sure I scrambled to get out of the car because I was afraid."
