Heartbreaking footage shows bystanders running to help in the parking lot of the Market at Spring Creek, but the person filming the shocking incident warns them not to turn the vehicle over.
“No, there is someone on the other side! There’s someone on the other side, don’t turn around, don’t turn around! he says.

“It seems to me that since I’ve been doing this for five years, it’s becoming more and more frequent,” Barclay told KRDO. “It’s been like every three or four nights here, there’s someone screeching tires. “I see a lot of activity.”
Barclay said he was sad for the victims, but is not entirely surprised after the reckless driving he has witnessed.
“I feel sorry for those children. I hope they survive, and if they survive, I hope they never do that again,” he told the outlet.
