Dallas police are searching for a driver and passengers who ran from the scene of a crash that sent another driver flying from his car, killing him.
It happened after midnight on Sunday at West Northwest Highway and Turtle Creek Boulevard.
“It’s terrifying,” said Kaylie Summers. “I’m glad I didn’t see it. I’m glad I didn’t hear it.”
Cell phone video from witnesses showed the aftermath: Dallas police said a man was ejected from his car and died after another car crashed into him – and that the driver and their passengers ran from the scene.

“My husband heard a huge noise. He thought it was like a bomb went off,” said Summers, who lives right in front of the scene along Northwest Highway.
She told NBC 5 that her husband saw the people running from the crash.
“Clothes and toys and diapers were scattered all over the place,” said Summers. “My husband said it was horrific. He said he’s never going to leave the vision.”
Dawn Rejebian also witnessed the aftermath of the crash. She said a friend found the victim in the street and started CPR after realizing he had no pulse.
As police searched for the people who ran from the crash, neighbors said it should be a wake-up call for the dangerous state of traffic in the area.
“It’s scary, but wrecks happen here all the time. They need to fix this intersection down here,” said Summers. “And Northwest Highway, they just speed. It makes me a nervous wreck.”
“People drive way too fast down this road,” said Rejebian. “And that intersection at Turtle Creek and Northwest Highway needs to be closed because it's accidents there constantly.”
Officials haven’t named the man killed in the crash. Anyone with information about the crash should contact the Dallas Police Department.
