BREAKING NEWS. WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT. A WILD, HORRIFIC SCENE FOLLOWING A CRASH IN ORLANDO, PUTTING NINE CHILDREN IN THE HOSPITAL. I’M JESSE PAGAN AND I’M MICHELLE IMPERATO. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON RALEIGH STREET AND CAMPANELLA AVENUE, AND THAT’S WHERE OUR GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN IS LIVE TONIGHT. GAIL. NEIGHBORS ARE SHAKEN UP ABOUT THIS. MICHELLE. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE SHAKEN UP. THEY JUST TOOK THE CARS AWAY FROM THE SCENE. NOW, NEIGHBORS, AS ONE OF THEM, WHO IS A MOTHER HERSELF, NOT OF THOSE INJURED, SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS HORRIBLE. AND SHE DESCRIBED THE THE CHILDREN WITH THEIR BLOODY INJURIES. AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE IT’S JUST BAD. BOTTOM LINE, ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL, CAME OUT HERE IN MASS TO THIS CRASH, WHICH HAPPENED AROUND 630 TONIGHT. IT’S HEARTBREAKING. I PRAY THAT THE FAMILY IS OKAY. I STAYED ALL THE WAY TILL THEY TOOK THE BABIES BECAUSE THE ONE BABY I HAD, THE ONE BABY TRYING TO KEEP HER ALIVE, TO KEEP HER AWAKE. I MEAN, THAT’S TRAGIC. IT’S SAD. NEIGHBORS WHO DIDN’T WANT TO BE ON CAMERA TELL US THEY HEARD SCREECHING AND THEN SAW THIS RED ALFA ROMEO HIT THIS NISSAN ALTIMA FROM BEHIND. THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS THE NISSAN RAN OFF THE ROAD AND THEN SLAMMED INTO A TREE AND HIT IT AGAIN. AND HE COULDN’T EVEN, LIKE, STOP. LIKE HE. YOU JUST. HEARD. I’M SORRY. AND. HE WAS ON THE PHONE LITERALLY, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT — ME OFF. AND THEN ALL THE KIDS WAS RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR, SHE SAID. THE DRIVER OF THE RED CAR WAS SPEEDING. THE CRASH HAPPENED EASTBOUND ON RALEIGH STREET AND EAST OF CAMPANELLA AVENUE IN ORANGE COUNTY, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE. SHE SAYS SHE HAD JUST PULLED OUT BEFORE THE CRASH HAPPENED. IT WAS AROUND 8 OR 9 KIDS IN THE CAR. SOMEONE PASSED AWAY. AN ADULT WAS THERE AS WELL. YES. THE ADULT, THEY HAD A SHE WAS IN THE CAR. THEY HAD TO, LIKE, PRY THE CAR OPEN, PULL HER OUT. THEY HAD TO, BECAUSE WE LIVE RIGHT THERE AT THE HOUSE WHERE IT HAPPENED. SO AND THEY HIT THE TREE AND HE HAD A GREEN BEER BOTTLE AND I DON’T SEE IT, BUT HE █THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW. IT LOOKS LIKE HE STAYED ON THE SCENE. YEAH HE DID. HE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE NOBODY WOULDN’T LET HIM LEAVE BECAUSE HE WAS ALL IN FRONT OF HIS CAR TO TELLING HIM TO GET OUT, BUT HE WAS STILL ON HIS PHONE. NINE CHILDREN WERE TAKEN TO ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS INJURIES. RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STILL WAITING TO GET PATIENT REPORTS ON ALL OF THOSE TONIGHT, RESIDENTS OUT HERE TELL ME THAT SOME OF THOSE YOUNGSTERS WHO WERE INJURED WERE AS YOUNG AS FOUR AND FIVE YEARS OLD. I ALSO JUST FINISHED TALKING TO A NURSE WHO LIVES HERE ACROSS THE STREET. AND SHE AMONG OTHER RESIDENTS. SHE SAID IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT TO TRY TO HELP THOSE CHILDREN AS MUCH AS THEY COULD.
