00:32
I said, oh, (name withheld), this is not a good place.
00:34
I couldn't believe it.
00:35
You know, nowadays, I think everybody's texting, and they weren't paying attention.
00:38
They just slammed right into them.
00:39
That's the town of Tonawanda or city of Tonawanda responding?
00:43
What is this, Thomas? I'm not sure, because like I said, we're right in front of the touch of Italy.
00:48
We just wear the car behind this.
00:49
We saw the whole thing happen.
00:51
Hell yeah, I think city responds to that.
00:53
I witnessed...
00:55
That's the same intersection where I witnessed an accident once the city responded.
00:59
I'll go get my scanner.
01:00
Oh my gosh, the damage, yes, one of them got hurt.
01:04
She went right through that red light.
01:05
Yeah, she did.
01:06
She went right through the red light, probably texting, I'm sure.
01:09

That car accident here at Touch of Italy in the, what were you, city of Tonawanda.
01:16
Oh sorry.
01:18

01:39
I just hope everything's okay.
01:41
The cops right away.

It looks like maybe an ambulance.
01:47
Yeah, the one lady that slammed in everybody.
01:48
Oh, she just got out of the car.
01:50
What damage, though.
01:51
When the one car hit this little SUV,
01:56
that SUV went flying up in the air on the back wheels.
01:59
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

02:10
This might be...
02:11
Looks like fire.
02:12
Probably, here comes more stuff.
02:15
It looks like a fire engine is coming.
02:16
Maybe, oh, there's gas leaking.

She looks okay and older lady though.
02:26
We just saw it.

I'm thinking how did she not see this? She just ran right into him.
02:32
Car driving on Delaware run the light or was this someone off a delta on running it?

On the side street, ran the light.
02:42
I could see someone on Delaware running the light.

But the side streets generally don't do that.
02:49
Exactly. This was amazing.
02:51
I couldn't believe I was seeing this.
02:53
I said, oh my God, (name withheld), if we were there, she probably would have hit us.
02:57
We were right behind this vehicle.
02:59
trucks here, but you can see the gas is leaking onto the street.

So, oh yeah, she's coming with her insurance.
03:04
