A resident of the area says the crash woke her up.

"You know how somebody would try to stop, you hear [screeching nose]. It was nothing like that. It was just boom, glass shattering and that's it," said Latisha, who didn't want us to use her last name.

Neighbors say there are a lot of kids in the area and a school bus stop nearby.

"It's kids out early in the morning and teenagers going to school. Slow down! You shouldn't be in that much of a rush," Latisha said.
