So, when I\u2019m on-call, I stay here,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>NBC 5 obtained security camera footage from a nearby business that showed the crashes.

They found the SUV parked nearby, but no one was inside. <\/p>\n<p>Another nearby business owner showed NBC 5 their security footage, taken seconds after the crash. Two people were recorded getting out of the SUV and then running away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Wow, all these cars are, you know\u2026 jacked up,&#8217;\u201d said Selena Perez, who lives at Broadway Chapter and noticed the trail of damaged cars later that morning. <\/p>\n<p>She typically walks her dog along the same sidewalk, but she now thinks driving to a park or trail might be a better idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could\u2019ve easily been a person [hit] and, obviously, that would\u2019ve been even more devastating,&#8221; Perez said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said she wouldn&#8217;t park on the street anymore and would make sure her visitors didn&#8217;t, either. Perez said she&#8217;ll use the apartment complex&#8217;s garage. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll go through the trouble of registering their cars and everything, because that\u2019s just not worth it at all, to risk it,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Alexander agreed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no parking on the street,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Although her brand-new car is ruined, she&#8217;s grateful she wasn&#8217;t in it, and no one else was in their cars, either. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank God no one was in their car. Thank God no one was injured,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Worth Police are looking for two people wanted in connection with a series of hit-and-run crashes that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":309204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,1035,7371,7372,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-309203","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-crime-and-courts","10":"tag-fort-worth","11":"tag-fortworth","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115386306255178693","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
