"It was just a dangerous situation," said Maurice Roy, witness to the scene. "They were pulling people out of cars. A kid in one of the cars, but police pulled the kid out and he was okay. Its good they caught the person, because its dangerous. That could've been my mom or anybody at the intersection."
