Um, and um, my friend back had the GPS so that my sister that was driving didn't have to keep looking down at her phone. We were driving and then next thing you know, it was just a loud boom. But mind you, I thought we hit somebody like as in the car and I looked outside, I didn't see no car. And then when I got out the car, I seen shoes and that's when I immediately was like, "Oh my god." And I looked in front of the car in bed, I seen him laying on the floor. >> What'd you do after that? >> I kind of started panicking. I ain't going to lie, cuz I've never been in nothing like this. I started panicking. My sister never been nothing like this, so we both were panicking. And then I walked up to him to make sure like I kept saying, "Hello, hello." Um, he kept like doing like five every 2 minutes though. It was weird. And I kind of see his teeth on the floor. So I panicked, but I end immediately seeing somebody on the sidewalk that was originally like with them. the lady that y'all probably let her go. She was a lady that was right here. Yeah. And I walked up to her and she was like, "Um, well, he did he all I know is he was an alcoholic and he said that he was going to under live his stuff. He just lost his pets."

So, here's what I want you to do. I want you to take your time and compose yourself before you ready to begin. But what I'd like to know while you're doing that is whether or not you understand the instructions or if you have any questions. >> No, I'm just concerned because I really am nervous.

I'm going to ask you to just have a seat in my car while we wait. Okay. >> Yes, you're being detained. Like I said, detective to come out and talk to you. Walk me through what happened again. >> Okay. I was sitting right here on this bus bench. >> Okay. >> And I just heard a bam. >> Where was he coming from? >> He was coming from right here across the street. And then she just hit him like that. That's all I seen. >> The first time I asked you, you said that he was in front of you on that side of the road. >> No, no, no. He was coming across. He was crossing the street as the car was coming this way and it just spam. >> Okay. >> What lane was he in? Okay. So there's the yellow lines. >> I know she was driving this way and he was coming across the street. >> Okay. So there's the yellow lines. Was he on the lane closest to the yellow lines or on the farthest lane? >> She was going that way in between the yellow lines and he was crossing the street and they collided like she hit him. >> I get it. I get it. Was her car in this lane when he hit her? >> Her car was in this lane. >> Was in this lane. Okay. When you were sitting on that bus stop, you were watching him walk across the street when he got here. Okay. Thank you so much. >> You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in a court of law. You may use any of these rights at any time before during questioning and you may stop the interview at any time. Okay. Do you understand all these rights? I read you. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, I just have a few questions to ask you about the question. Were you the driver of the vehicle? >> Yes. >> Okay. What do you see exactly as you're driving? What do you see happen? >> So, as we're driving, um, I'm looking at my GPS. I see that the like screen. I'm going speed limit. I look I'm looking at my speed limit and my speed limit on my GPS at the same time as I'm driving past the light. >> Okay. >> I cross over from I'm driving like this way. So, I was in the lane. >> Okay. >> I got over to the right. >> As I'm passing here, I'm getting past like this. I pass right here like past the um the bus stop kind of. Uh-huh. >> And as I'm passing the bus stop, I see shirt and shorts and they hit my arm. >> Mhm. Okay. Now, you say you're looking at the GPS and then you're looking at your speedometer. Is that what I got from it? >> Yes. >> How fast was your speedometer saying? >> Um, it was about how was it? As long as I would say like about 20 >> 28 to 30. >> Yes. >> And how fast did on your GPS how fast did it say um uh the speed limit for this area was? around I don't believe it was 35. >> Okay. So the GPS says 35 and then your speed you're saying about 28 to 30. >> Yes. >> So where did you first see the pedestrian now? Was he standing on the roadway or he walked in front of you or like how did that go? >> Honestly and truthfully I did not see him until he was directly in front of my car. I didn't see if he was running or if he was walking. I didn't see I all I seen was he was his finger was facing this way and then into >> when facing this way like sideways or to your to your car. >> No, like facing this way. >> Okay. >> Like as if he was walking from >> street. Gotcha. Could you I know it happened so fast. Could you tell if he had like a a pace to him or if he was just stationary? >> I know it happened very fast. >> Couldn't tell. Like everything is around me like what my honestly if you turn my headlights on my car, you'll see like my headlights are like very dimly. So I literally only could see like directly what's in front of me. >> So when I seen him, the only thing that I seen was his shirt and shorts and that was about it. >> I see. I got you. I got you. Makes sense. What do you do there? As soon as like your the pedestrian gets hit, what do you do? >> I hit my brakes immediately. >> Immediately. >> My brakes are a little bit fy. >> They don't work all the all the way or >> No, they skip. Like if I if I hit it too fast, like they'll skip like >> So you the car stops. Do you like get out of the car to check and see like what happened? >> So, as soon as it happened, like I instantly go into shock cuz I I honestly did not know what was going on. I looked down. I just see blood like >> and my sister my little sister hops out the car first and she was just like, "Mommy, check the car." And I I get out and I and that's when I realized everything was happen. I'm checking on him. I asked him if he could respond. I see that he was breathing. >> Mhm. >> But uh >> Yeah. So, uh, did you like do CPR on him? >> I I did graph his arm related to ask. >> Okay. Gotcha. >> Is she's mom? >> That's my mom. >> I'm the mother. >> Shared mom. >> Yeah. Those are my children. >> I got you. I got you, man. What's your name? My name's Officer Chris. Okay. 10 police officer. So, I'm pretty sure they already kind of told you what was happening. I don't know if you want to close your door or >> I got two babies in here, too. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. >> I got you. Yeah. You came a long way from Ruskin. So, right now they're doing an interview right now. They're doing their own investigation to kind >> the person's dead >> died. Yes. >> That's why we're doing this big investigation and that's why they're kind of figuring out exactly what happened, what she saw and stuff. But she said when she was driving here in this area, the guy just appeared. That's all she could tell was that she couldn't see him running, walking, she said she was just driving, looking forward, and then like he just appeared. >> She didn't even know if he ran up. Everybody else is saying I'm pretty sure he ran up, but she specifically states that I don't remember him running or walking. He He was just facing that way. So, it's kind of like, hey, we have to try to figure out what's going on. She's in the back of that maroon police car right now. We can't go over there cuz they're doing an investigation. Um, we have this tied up cuz we have to reo this crash and try to figure out exactly how it happened and what happened. As far as I've seen, and I think the the girls also saw, she got searched, got put in the back of police car with no handcuffs. And I think that's where she's at. You might be able to even see her. She's in the maroon uh police car. Full transparency, you can look at her. You can't just go over there and walk. So, that's where we're at right now. Yes, ma'am. You got any other questions? That's as far as I know. Does >> the person have family? Like, we >> uh I haven't >> Nobody knows that. >> No one has identified him. We're working on that, too. So, I'm unsure if the investigators need to talk with them still. Yes, ma'am. I'll be right here if you need anything. >> She was charged with DUI, driving without license, and vehicular manslaughter.
