"She hit the top of my car, busted out my windshield, rolled down onto the roof of my car, cracked my driver's side light, and then rolled onto the ground. So I think my car broke her fall," said Christelle Ford.

"She was moaning, obviously in pain, but she knew her name, she knew how old she was, she knew that she lived in Denver," said Dana Trujillo Davis who witnessed the aftermath.
