I was driving in my car, so I only had audio, but when I heard that poor father and Grandfather learn that she didn't make it, that was horrific.

No parent should ever have to be told that. No parent should ever have to go through that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

It's a million times more traumatic when the actual parent finds out their child is dead. Happened to my mother and she got so depressed, gave up on life and died 4 months later. And yes it was very traumatic to witness her pain as she was my mother. But I still believe it was way worse for her 😭😦😯😂lol

smh shit crazy

@@lc4life369 what a strange place to say "lol"

About 100% of these commenters are completely insane thinking it's okay to just run out in front of fast moving traffic. They think the driver is 100% responsible. I have deep concerns for where this world is going if that's what people think. Everybody knows you don't run out in front of traffic at night especially. They took their lives in their own hands and someone else got blamed because they were scared and left the scene. Fear is a natural human reaction. Running out in front of fast moving traffic is not.

@@historyiwitness5915 If the driver didnt run from the scene there is a very good chance he could have gotten off with no charges. It was dark and other drivers also did not see the second person. We don't know everything behind this. It could have been the pedestrians fault in fact that is my suspicion.

@@DeusKDuo oh really you're a lawyer now? The fact that they left did not contribute to the girl's death. The girl contributed to her own death. Buy running out in front of traffic. Shocking that this simple fact needs to be explained to you

@@historyiwitness5915 I think you misunderstood what i am saying i agree with you. I am saying If the driver that hit the girl would have stayed. It likely would have been deemed an unfortunate accident and he would have not got in trouble because the girl contributed to her own death.

Sorry for your loss fam

So very sorry for the loss of your beloved brother.❤

I watched the same thing happen except it wasn't a hit and run. The driver got 0 punishment and it was so heartbreaking that someone lost their life at the hands of someone else who got a slap on the wrist. I hope the memory haunts her dreams.

Yeah, and the cop is just like "okay" I mean..dude... have a little more empathy.... I understand you are trying to get information and that is the best way to do so is by being direct with close ended questions but come on you could of at least comforted her. I guess that is there way of coping with the situation learned from previous experiences so I cannot blame them but that is some cold callous shit, and this is why you end up with situations like 22:00; unable to defuse the situation because you lack the empathy to understand the other person perspective as you are blocking everything out to prevent yourself from being traumatized and having empathy would form a connection to the current reality. . Good job on that officer on being proactive and parking behind that semi instead of trying to argue with someone who just received some of the most terrible news they will hear in life because at that point he is not going to be rational, so you have to make with what you have instead of making the situation worse. Anyway, I'm done with my rand TLDR; Public servants have difficult jobs that make them assholes.

@@rouke3254 that shit made me so angry too

Shock can really screw up your mind. My Little Sister passed away unexpectedly when she was 9 and I had just turned 12. That was 50 years ago. To this day, I don't remember my parents telling us she was dead. About 15 years ago, I was able to to visit her grave. I just remember standing there and seeing her name on the headstone and went into shock all over again. Hours just disappeared. I don't remember much of that day either. Then my Brother died a tragic death in 2022. I went to his funeral. I moved into his house. On the first anniversary of his death, it finally settled in that he wasn't coming home. All of his stuff is still where he left it. I can't bring myself to pack it up, much less give it away or donate it. I'm lost.

I feel so bad for her 😢

@@rouke3254And she was shaking too, I felt so bad for her. I don’t know what policy is on things but I wish they could have her sit in one of the police cars with the heat on while they took her statement.

Not so, his license is suspended for 5 years once he gets out, and he's under supervision when he gets out for almost 5 years, but he got 8 years in prison. Involuntary manslaughter normally is up to a 4 year sentence, often much less. He got over double. If we're unhappy with crime punishments, we need to vote in people who are tougher on criminals.

5 yrs was ridiculous.👍🏻

​@@historyiwitness5915 I am betting this was not in a marked crosswalk (they were jaywalking). That does not at all affect needing to stop for hitting someone, but it might explain slightly fewer years in prison for something like this.

I personally know someone who did the exact same thing, plus cleaning his car to get rid of the blood, and hiding his car in a garage for weeks until finally turning himself in. He was only sentenced to a year & some change. It happened here in Pennsylvania

A Sugarloaf Township man will spend two to four years in state prison after pleading guilty to vehicular homicide related to the death of a construction worker on Interstate 81 last year. The man, 28, was charged by state police at Hazleton with striking Kevin DenDulk, 30, of Limerick, in a construction zone on the interstate in Hazle Township on Aug. 1. DenDulk, part of the construction crew, was pronounced dead at the scene. State police said he fled the scene in his vehicle, a 2005 Hyundai Accent. His vehicle was in the process of being disassembled when it was found at his residence, court records say.

@@simply7teen_495i can agree with this. My daughters father was just sentenced to 12 years in federal prison on may 23rd. His charges are non violent drug possession/ dealing charges & NO ONE died. Someone that i grew up with was sentenced to 2-4 years for doing a hit & run, while driving drunk, resulting in the death of a man. He also tampered with evidence, hiding & cleaning/dissembling his car for weeks until he finally turned himself in. This was a few years ago. He ended up serving a year & some change. He’s out now.

I have 2 daughters and watching the father receive this news made me weep like a baby. Just the thought of one of my babies life taken away in such a manner. I dnt know how I could live a normal life after that.

I immediately grabbed and held my son once the dad was made aware of the passing 😢

that was heartbreaking when Dad walked up on scene And it's gotta be even worse for the family knowing the killer got off relatively easily

The cops could have been more compassionate. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

@@randalthor6872 it was bad when grandpa showed up too. You could feel the pain emanating from them both. It was heartbreaking!!💔💔💔

@@LilyJ0000As a grandmother of identical twin girls who will be 8 in a few weeks, I can’t imagine losing one of them anymore than losing my daughter. I have three times in my life when I have received news of the death family. My mother in 1981-expected after a long illness, my father in 1983-sudden death, and my sister and only sibling, in 2012, also a sudden death. Because they all lived in different states, I got the news over the phone. Each time, it was straight forward with no chitchat. Just wham! Knowing how it feels to receive that news, I can’t imagine having to give that news to anyone. That must be one of the hardest parts of the job for law enforcement and/or medical professionals. How do you maintain an emotional distance to preserve your own mental health without sounding cold and unfeeling? By the time you 77 like I am, you have lost many loved ones. Many friends. That never gets easier.

Agreed

Culture means everything. Look at his culture.

​@@SonoftheWarsuh oh... you can't be spreading truth like that. It's racist.

Yep...

I'm not gonna pretend that I know what the cops thought but I could imagine it being tough to tell the grandpa what happened. Telling anyone that there love one is gone must be painful, recognizing the pain but only being able to provide the most superficial comfort.

The cops didn't handle that well at all. Complaining about the truck stopped in the road rather than trying to verify who he was and why he was there.

@@Epic_C I agree, I want to argue on everyone's behalf in something this tragic but you could tell the cops knew they weren't right to turn him away, they didn't try to force him beyond some words but they should have given up after maybe 2~3 times he said he was grandpa. I get why they didn't want to be the one to tell him tho, they had to get dad for that part.

@@Epic_C The cops handled it how they should have. They can't have a truck, or any other unauthorized vehicle, parked at an active crime scene. They also don't know who this guy is. As far as they know, this is just some guy who rolled up and started screaming. They handled it as best as they could by asking him nicely to move his truck and talk with the family members on scene. His frustration is understandable and justified, but procedures still need to be followed.

@@Epic_C I mean, I get it. The officers rightly assumed that the grandfather would be in no position to operate a semi truck after receiving such tragic news about a family member. It really would have been better for everyone involved if they were able to convince him to move the truck before breaking the news.

I know, I was in tears for them !! She was just a kid really, starting out. I pray she didn’t suffer & this pos gets some justice inside. 🙏💙❤️💙🙏

That geez, I don’t even have kids and I was crying with him

i know :/

1000%

I was in tears for father, but that grandfather needs to be a better man. The father didnt even act like a child the way the grandfather did. Hes just adding more stress and problems to the cops and mostly the father. The father had to deal with his daughter dying and the grandfather actinf a fool.

Seriously!! There are a couple comments saying they did good for not getting rough with him. wtf is wrong with people? I am far from anti-police but this boot licking stuff is exhausting. They were terrible to him.

Are you kidding??? The grandfather was causing a hazard! I have no idea what he’s doing driving a commercial truck. Not seemingly physically or mentally able. I understand that he was distraught, but by parking on the busy highway and making demands of the police trying to manage the crime scene just created a new and at least equal hazard.

@@moreskeptical-ro9ph I didn’t dispute he was creating a hazard. He absolutely needed to move the truck. But imagine finding out someone you LOVE is dead. The last thing you’re gonna care about is a damn truck. That’s why they should’ve acted with empathy and not escalated the situation, even if he was distraught. Grief doesn’t exactly put someone in the right mindset.

Thank you.

Absolutely agree. Vicarious trauma can be lifelong. Blessings

@@Ken94366I seriously wasn’t expecting that to be a part of the video so when that part came up I was like Jesus Christ, it’s so distressing

Are you still waiting for the milk he was supposed to bring?

I'm so sorry this happened to your family. It is truly a life changing tragedy.

They offered one in a way but the father declined. Let me explain because I know he didn't verbally offer. They are trained that in these situations they shouldn't verbally offer comfort, especially when the person they want to comfort is over a certain age and in communities where comfort is considered weakness. Instead they are trained to show body language that offers the comfort and read if the comfort is welcomed or declined, they use that body language answer to determine if they should verbally offer comfort or not. The way he offered a hug was having open body language and hands out of pockets and out to the side ready if a hug is wanted, this was the declined by the dad who both faced away and the way he almost hugged himself with his arms across his chest. Due to this he decided physical comfort wasnt the best to offer and therefore listened to him pray and offered for a spiritual leader (sorry I'm at the end of the video so can't remember the name of the type of leader) to attend to him to comfort him at the death of his daughter. Hope this helps when watching these videos as I too used to get so mad that the police didn't instantly verbally or obviously offer comfort but then my friend who had recently finished their training explained the body language reading and displaying to me to help me understand. It's on the officer to read the victims families body language and decide the best method of support

You can get attacked doing that. Ive tried to consol people who are traumatized and they fight back, nice job judging people tho.

@@ash-ton5592 trained? They're barely trained to use their weapons correctly lol

@@jacobg6528 only officers that are trained to deal with grieving family members are allowed to break the news, or they have to be present to support, how he acted was actually how the dad needed to be comforted at that time as the only physical consolation he seemed to want was familial consolation

Yes, and you can see how this poor man is in disbelief, saying it's not true, and begging them to keep working on her. Even later he asks can't the EMTs keep trying... I've seen so many of these videos of lying criminals (who killed their kids, spouse, etc) faking grief. This is what real grief looks like: initial denial because the mind won't accept this terrible truth. The poor grandfather too.

Don’t know if I would say unnatural but nevertheless a tragedy of epic proportions.

I saw a recent Reddit post asking "what should everyone go through?" and my first thought was "the death of their parents." All other reasons aside, this answer means no parent goes through the death of their child.

The dad didnt care, the grandfather did.

it hurt me too and why weren’t the officers trying to hold him!? see I’m from the deep Deep South and we love on those who need to be loved on whether we know them or not and I am just disappointed with the delivery of this kind of news 🤬

Especially since it is a hit & run.. he didn't take accountability for his mistake... He should get much longer sentence since he ran and didn't care about the life he took....

So did the grandfather. I can only imagine the pain. & I am 100% sure it is worse than I can imagine. All I could think of was my grandbabies. One who is about to get his license.

Yes me too 😢😢😢

That's what they are supposed to do to not make it worse. That's why he didn't tell her that the victim passed. He wanted her to think everything was ok.

Right because acknowledging and talking about something shocking to a shocked person helps

It’s very difficult for officers or anyone for that matter to be able to calm someone down in the heat of the moment, especially a lady who’s clearly not mentally capable of handling the situation that she just witnessed, they needed to do their best to get as much info as they could to make sure the criminal could be caught and punished. Taking even a minute to do anything else could mean the difference of the criminal being caught or escaping. The officers did the correct thing, EMS/FD will perform any sort of wellbeing checks, not the officers.

@@ItsFactor maybe in the states but here I’ve had cops do the job of victim services or at least offer victim services. They understand that trauma can affect people for the rest of their lives.

@@rosierb852 Yes, at different times. I am not too worried about myself dying because I know where I am going to end up, but that is a different conversation. 😀 But, yes, it is hard and no, you never get over it. It seems after a while to get pushed to the back of your mind. Not that you stop caring, though.

Totally agree!

Sadly they have to work fast to retain the validity of information given by the statements. Them comforting her could count as them coercing her into saying what they want to hear and it's harder for it to stand up in court. It sucks but defense lawyers get really scummy in cases like this and will do anything to make sure a piece of shit walks free.

To be fair, It was dangerously cold outside that day. That 4 degree fahrenheight felt like negative 16 with the wind chills so he probably couldnt comfort her the way he could of

What do you expect him to have said? There's not much he could do there. What could you have said? Think about it very well, and be totally honest.

I'm sure a lot of those cops were very upset over the situation but unfortunately cops need to have themselves collected and calm for the people that they are dealing with

Me too I can't believe it either. No way he could drive. So it actually would have been more dangerous. Good gracious

For sure!!! These cops had so much ego that someone yelling at them that just lost a child/grandchild, they took personally and got an attitude. I don’t think any of them handled these poor people very well.

I think they should’ve gotten like 30 years minimum. They clearly didn’t care about hitting someone. They completely ruined three or more peoples lives. (Father, grandfather, mother and anyone else like friends etc) And made someone lose their life and proceeded to flee from the crash. Such a small amount of time for ruining so much for so many people.

15 years minimum… you’re crazy dude

It was an accident, he had no intention to kill anybody. They should not be crossing there, it was not a pedestrian crossing. Drivers would not be expecting people to be in the road. He was not even speeding, it was just dark and he saw them too late. Yes he panicked and drove off in an act of self preservation and maybe shock, but he's been punished for that. I don't think his life should be destroyed because of an accident. If he just stopped and waited for police he would have not even been charged with anything.

i don't get the usa mentality to give all crimes life in prison. It was manslaughter not calculated murder My cousin was killed by a drunk driver but that night he didn't decided to go out and murder her. His bad choices led to her death and she was crossing at night. Pedestrian's take lots of risk crossing roads. You need to a really quick risk assessment and not be in a hurry. I live in a regional town in Australia which has particular roads where they are hazards to drivers. People walk into the roads walk across traffic lights etc with no regard. Bike people do whatever. You need to be aware going at the speed limit you need to drive below the speed limit! I lived in an Australian city and had no issues with people but in coastal country Australia where I am its terrible.

​@@katel7309I agree with the sentiment that manslaughter shouldn't be charged with the same punishment as straight-up murder, but given how prevelant anti-drunk driving sentiment is in general media, especially in the US, anyone in their right mind should ABSOLUTELY assume they are going to be putting someone in serious danger by driving intoxicated. If you are knowingly drunk drive, and you acknowledge how dangerous drunk driving is, and you end up killing someone, you should ABSOLUTELY go to prison for an extremely long time. Whoever killed your cousin knowingly put everyone on the road and around it at risk. They knew the consequences, yet they did it anyway.

I bet you would have been scared shitless too. In regards to her, she should have triple checked the way was clear before crossing. I’m sorry, but if you make stupid choices knowing you’re crossing a busy street, that’s on you.

She was annoying and stupid. She admitted to not paying attention while driving. Also she made it about her instead of the victim so it’s really obnoxious to listen to that

@@sentientdogma1206 She was traumatized by what she saw. Nobody has perfect recall or mental processing after seeing something like that. If you can't muster empathy try at least some understanding.

@sentientdogma1206 What's it like being a sociopath?

Ya she was annoying and acting like she was a victim, she should have stopped. Zero emotional control, if she wasn’t so overly emotional she could have helped much more. Absolute fail.

@@sentientdogma1206agreed !

Brought tears to my eyes

Wow. 17 surgeries-so sorry. I hope you are recovering well. Blessings

@@Laura-tp8wz Thank you for your kind words! It was a lot of hard work and tears but I'm learning to accept the pain. Unfortunately I can't do many things like skiing so a portion of my life is gone! 🌻

Same thing exact thing happened to me she hit me so hard the front seats broke and the the back window and two backseat windows shattered only she wasn’t drunk she was taking selfies and i didnt have a scratch on me my back hurt for a week and i was fine………. hope you feel better

@@Smokeout48glad you’re fine… what about the driver? Do you know her injuries? Did she die?

@@Handledi she was just a horrible person took zero responsibility she even told me “ it dosent matter i destroyed your car my car is newer anyways “ ……..And it wasn’t i was in 2011 ford fusion and she was in a 2009 Hyundai Lmaooo …. Cops ended up scaring her and she admitted she was taking pictures of herself and didnt see me cause my car was black and it was dark …..i got like 7400$ from her insurance

I thought that was way low too.

Totally agree. If it’s murder that sentence better double or triple. Point blank.

Malicious indifference on top of felony hit and run homicide. 20 years, mandatory minimum.

@@Dryphish i didnt even watch the video yet but im going to assume that isn't murder and it's actually manslaughter which are vastly different

​@@amzarnacht6710 It damn well should be....well put.

My condolences to you and a hug. ❤ and a candle burning eternally for your child. 🕯️

Any loss of life is sad: most can be avoided. In Texas, maybe others, a person can be charged with failing to render aid….30 minutes later? Should’ve been charged….again, sorry for these parents and family and your loss.

😮😮 wow that is RIDICULOUS. She came back 30 minutes later I GUARANTEE because her parents told her if she didn't go back she will get charged . I'm in shock she got NO prison time. This is pathetic. It could have been someone else that hit them that was Totally wasted drunk or high and got scared someone got the license plate and went and traded places with a sober family member so they don't get charged. Anything could have had happened in that 30 minutes. Sorry to hear about your loss❤

@@Fjk2134that’s so true!!

I have nothing but hate and vengance towards 2019. Such an evil year! EVIL year.

I think the public is for the most part aware that hit and runs are part of reality. Hit and runs are illegal in all states, but the parameters can be slightly different depending on your state laws. As far as I understand it does not matter if you return to the scene after 1 minute or after 24 hours or after a year, if you flee the scene you are guilty of the crime of hit and run. It is very strange the perpetrator was charged, but then found not guilty due to returning to the scene. It sounds like the person did in fact meet the criteria for hit and run, but perhaps the jury went against their oath and nullified? Typically the jury is given instructions and takes an oath to remain impartial, but that's the problem with jury of peers is this does not always happen as it should. It is quite rare though especially with random hit and run killers. That is really weird.

Her life just got started -

Yeah, I watch a ton of these, and TBH I've become somewhat desensitized to it, but whenever the victim matches your own kids, it really hits home. Can't imagine.

You and me both, bud!

The grandfather who parked his truck probably heard it over CB. That man literally said "fuck work" and drive the delivery out. I feel for that man. I get why the officers were strict. Luckily they had compassion for the situation.

Did you know her?

@@SonoftheWars any life is worth more than that, you don't have to know the person bruh

A person who cant cross the street's life is worth something? thats news.

@@jobofa4252 Idiotic way of thinking, you're blaming the teenager instead of the guy that was speeding? Drivers are supposed to give way for pedestrians, 2 crossed but she got hit because of the speeder, how is that even her fault? Are you mentally stable

@@jobofa4252stay hidden behind your screen low life

I was also in EMS for over 30 years, and going on 33 in fire. I know what you're saying all too well. The really bad ones, the ones where you do everything and still can't save them, they stay with you forever. And yeah, nothing you did matters to the family who just lost that person, only what you didn't do.

my best friend passed away and i found her. a kind EMS person made the most difference in the situation. thanks for everything you do/did ❤

I was in EMS for over 3 years and too many bad calls made me leave the business. I appreciate you have the fortitude to do that job. Respect.

I’m not a 1st responder, but my partner went into cardiac arrest 1 night and I performed CPR for over 15 minutes until 1st responders arrived. He went in the ambulance, and someone drove me to the hospital because I was in shock and they didn’t want me driving. They then wouldn’t let me see him, and stuck me in a room with a grief counsellor. I truly thought he was gone. I will never forget the hysterical phone call I made to his mother, in the middle of the night, from that room. I was apologising and telling her I did all I could, and all I could think was ‘what if it was 1 of MY sons?’ In the end, according to the Dr thanks to my competent CPR (I had coincidentally taken a 1st aid course less than a week earlier), he made a full recovery. But I’ll never forget that awful night

Do you ever have any good outcomes?

There are crosswalks... people don't want to walk to them, amd prefer to cross by Jay walking... a crosswalk also won't stop hot and runs and car v pedestrians unfortunately.

@@LeahNicoleMusicTodayBus stops need crosswalks. Its that simple.

Definitely. The fact that it looks like 6 or more wide lanes with high speed limits means it will be a horribly dangerous place until it is narrowed and slowed.

american infrastructure is so hostile to pedestrians its insane. and some of these bigger pickups that everyone is driving now cant even see over their hood.

As if people stopped at crosswalks.

The US is in the soft on crime era 🙄

@@jdkunzjeffits not i know someone with 10 years for stealing a car so nope yall pick and choose

@@seen2much6nobody asked you about your loser friend

@@seen2much6 my ancestors? What are you even talking about 😂

Agree. Absolutely heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry ​@@Brandon-cm7wh

I was a firefighter for over 10 years. The sounds a parent who just lost a child are something I never got used to

And the license being 'revoked', what a joke of a system.

My mother got more time than that for credit card fraud.... 10 years

​@@armymarshal13Feds don't play no games

8 years × 20 her age..😢

@@evlsc400 only for 5 years too 🤦‍♂

I was teaching one day and the classroom I was in was right near the road, it was nearing home time and parents were coming to collect their kids. One of the kids' grandparents was crossing the road and I heard the impact when a car hit her. It's a sound that I will never forget. She did live, but was injured at the hip level pretty bad and died sooner than she should have after that. My witness was only a sound, but it was enough that 30 years later, I still remember it clearly.

Was she in a crosswalk with a green light?

Oh god, I'm so sorry.
