i was directly across the street on southwestern when that happened. i want to say the jeep came out of the parking lot on the stadium side right before the bridge there. the only reason i turned around and saw it was because he drove out of there so fast with the tires squealing it sounded like a burnout. and i was like wtf. so then the jeep just goes towards the left into the oncoming lane on the other side, goes up the curb where 100’s of people are walking and hits the concrete gaurdrail i guess it would be on the bridge. and taking out 2 people as he did that. the one person easily was 5-6 feet off the ground after they were struck by the jeep. the other person didnt go nearly as high. someone else jumped over the side of the bridge to avoid getting hit. then the car sped off down the road and a cop was chasing him closely behind and spun him into a flagpole further on up the road. and the jeep had 1 if not 2 flat tires as he still tried to get away but it was the craziest accident i’ve ever seen in person. almost like something that would be in the a movie the way the person flew through the air. ---

I was right on abbott when the jeep pulled out of the bills lot. He just took off going the wrong way down abbott weaving in and out of people. I have never have seen anything like that happen. Something was seriously wrong with this guy, I highly doubt it was just alcohol that was in his system. ---

After the Daytona 500 no one is allowed to drive for at least 1/2 hour after the race so all of the pedestrian can get to their cars first. I am thinking that may have helped in this situation. Maybe not, who knows? ---

The thing that is odd about the whole situation is how it started. He was not getting pulled over by the police or anything when he started to run, he just pulled out of line and decided to start speed down the wrong way on the street which was full of pedestrians ---

I knew everything when I was that age too. lol el oh el Oh no, you see, i’m not agreeing with you. Although I can understand your point, do you really expect EVERY single person attending a Bills game will be in their cars half an hour after. That’s just outlandish. When I said rough monday, I figured you had a few to many during yesterdays games and were feeling a bit hazy today, it sure seems it. 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hit-and-run-after-bills-game/74723.md?page=2)
