That’s all my dad has is my mom. That’s what they lived for. My mom was a very smart and caring person. She always put herself last. She always put other people first

Ty Cervantes statement about finding the hit and run victim

It was very faint. But I could feel it. And I started on her right away and I didn’t stop until help arrived. 

According to the San Diego Police Lt. Paul Rorrison, they are looking for a silver sedan type of vehicle. If anyone sees a vehicle like that with some front end damage they are asked to call the San Diego Police Department.

Spassov is still in shock and Doesn’t Understand

You know just…took away half of my family and I don’t know who that person is. It’s just…why. Why’d you run away? I never understood that…just a coward thing to do…would love to get some closure
