Tammy Turner was at her home near the crash site. Turner said she heard a car speeding right before a loud crash. She and other rushed outside.
"It hurt and made me want to cry because one was hanging out of the car, and they're busting out the windows trying to get the rest of them. It shouldn't go like that," Turner recalled. "My heart goes out to the families deeply because it shouldn't have happened."
