It shows Angel Torres walking in the street after buying milk at a local grocery store. Seconds later, he's struck by a dark Honda that was chasing a tan Toyota. Both cars darted down a side street as Torres crumples onto the road.The minute-long video then shows several cars passing Torres as a few people stare from the sidewalk. Several people did call 911 within a minute of the accident while others approached the victim and most stayed put until an officer responding to an unrelated call arrives on the scene.Torres is in critical condition in Hartford Hospital. Authorities say he's paralyzed. ___ ___, The Associated Press
