Two people are recovering after being seriously injured after being struck by a Porsche that police believe was street racing.
FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace explains what happened.The street racing turned hit-and-run happened just south of downtown in the 3700 block of Alameda. The young man and woman who were hit had just walked out of Axelrad nightclub.
Thais De Gante, her 26-year-old sister, Greta, and Greta's coworker, Anthony Hernandez, were at Axelrad's last Friday night for an event."There was live music. We were hanging out. We were not even drinking, it was a very chill night," De Gante said."Anthony went to the car with Greta to make sure she gets to her car safely," said De Gante."The lady was singing, and they completely shut down the music," she said.
De Gante says an officer told her Greta and Anthony were struck by a new Porsche that was street racing.After hitting the couple, the driver went to Crawford Street and stopped. "He let three people out of the car," said De Gante. "The witnesses say they just saw three people running as fast as they could like running away.""She broke her tibia and she also broke her ankle," her sister said. "She's not going to be able to walk for at least six months.""He's going to have to relearn how to walk," said De Gante. "Full therapy sessions for I don't know how many months.
