“I mean you hear someone got hit and at first everyone is like “oh my God”," Chesley said. "And then you find out it’s two people that you know and all of a sudden it turns into something very different. I remember when the people who were taking care of her, both of them, outside and when they came inside to warm up and the cops and ambulances got there. People were hysterical, crying.”
