“Eventually they exited onto this exit right here. Came down, they didn’t stop at the stop sign and went straight through the stop sign and unfortunately, there happened to be a man standing on there,” Burret said.

He said people rushed to help the person hit.

“He was laying on the ground, his legs were bent up to the side,” Burret said.

Burret used his car to stop traffic.
