On Monday, tragedy struck the families of two small children as they were run over by an out of control driver, Dorothy Bruns, who ran a red light. The horrific moment is shown in a video where Bruns is seen in a white Volvo.
“It was something you see in a horror movie,” was the reaction of Debbie LaSalle, who was crossing the same intersection when she saw Bruns speeding past the red light.
