The crash occurred on October 17 at 6:37 a.m. on Mapledale Avenue near Miles Court.

Update Nov. 02, 9 p.m.: Sarah and Tony Lopez were among the first to drive by the scene of the accident. Sarah said she and her husband pulled up at the intersection on a motorcycle and " I immediately saw a motionless body on the ground in the middle of the intersection, a very damaged shopping cart nearby, and broken glass. It was a really dark scene. I could immediately see that his limbs didn’t look uninjured but I had no idea how extensive it was."
They called 911, and Tony immediately ran over to start rendering aid and CPR to the victim. As he did, the other victim approached and started crying, praying, and "begging for his friend to wake up." Sarah stayed on the line with 911 while Tony began CPR and helped resuscitate the first victim.
