Thursday, October 1st, 2009
A Vietnamese man successfully caught a hit-and-run driver in action sequence worthy of a stunt driver.
Hung Pham (pictured) gave chase, cut off and took the keys from a 17-year-old female driver who had kept going after hitting a pedestrian, reports KDAF-TV33 here.
The events happened around 7am this morning near Sam Houston High School in Arlington, Texas.
A 17-year-old girl was crossing the street when another 17-year-old girl hit her. Then the driver kept going.
“I can’t let them run,” says Pham. So he chased the driver a few blocks. And then, he blocked her car with his and made sure it couldn’t move.
Pham says, “I just crawled in the car and turned off the engine, and motor, and I take off her key and hold it in my hand.”
