Witnesses share what they saw and heard Sunday morning after a woman was found under a car

BOSTON — If you live near Magnolia and Quincy Streets, it was hard to sleep in Sunday morning.

“I heard like a bomb explode,” said witness Jamil Gray said.

“They woke me up with a loud crash and I looked out the window at all the cars mangled up out here,” said witness Dan Thompson.

Police took a man into custody around 9 a.m. after witnesses say he crashed a black Hyundai with no plates into a red sedan and then ran away.

“Police gave him a foot chase,” said Gray. “They had jumped out of the car and he had run and then they caught him a couple of blocks away. He knocked her from Quincy Street onto Magnolia Street about a few houses up. So he was traveling at a high rate of speed and she was flown from her vehicle.”

Witnesses say the crash ejected the woman from the sedan and trapped her underneath another car.

“Two young ladies were sitting there holding her hand and making sure that she was all right until the ambulance got there,” said Gray. “They wheeled her out on a stretcher with all types of bruises on her face and like she had a big gash of the forehead.

Witnesses recorded as police wound the window down and let the driver see the damage and the injuries.

“He looked out the window and put his head down inside shaking his head like, oh man, he couldn’t believe what he had just done,” said Gray.

The drivers of both cars went to the hospital to get checked out, the extent of their injuries is not yet known.

The crash also left behind a ton of damage including a 20 mph street sign now completely lopsided, fence that is now crumpled and if a parked car with severe rear damage.
