Haverhill Man Seeks Hit And Run Driver
HAVERHILL (CBS) - A Haverhill man hit by a car and left for dead says he never saw it coming.
"I saw headlights and got hit." That's what Daniel Stanford remembers about the crash that left him with a full brace on his leg, a concussion and a black eye.
"I just heard people screaming and tried to look at the car, but I couldn't do it," he says.
Now, he wants to know who left him with a dislocated knee and black eye lying in the middle of Winter Street in Haverhill on Saturday night.
"I heard the police coming," he says. "I heard ambulances I heard people talking in the background, I was crying in the street, I was hurting, they were taking my pulse, ripping my clothes off with scissors making sure I wasn't bleeding anywhere else."
Stanford says he was walking a friend home at the time and was in the crosswalk when he was hit. Witnesses saw a small blue car, but couldn't make out the license plate.
Stanford says, "I got a dislocated left knee and severely sprained the whole leg, a black eye, a bruise on my face, and I had a concussion as well."
Stanford is now struggling with medical bills and with the idea that someone hit him and didn't stop.
"They just took off so I would like to see some justice in it," he says.
Stanford wants to thank everyone who rushed to help him Saturday night, and asks that if anyone has any information to call Haverhill Police.
