On September 19 around 12:40 a.m., Fort Worth Police responded to a hit-and-run on Crowley Road. Two victims were hospitalized in serious condition.

Suspect detained while fleeing scene

Yoriel Cabrera, 22, was detained after attempting to leave the crash site. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and intoxication assault with a vehicle.

Suspect's mugshot shows facial injuries

Cabrera appeared bloodied in his Tarrant County Jail mugshot. He told police the injuries came from people he was playing pool with before the accident.

Victim describes moment of impact

Tiffany Chapman, 48, suffered a punctured and collapsed lung and two broken legs. She remembers seeing headlights coming toward her and the pain that followed.

“I hear the screeching of tires, and I looked up, and there were headlights coming towards me.”

Chapman questions her recovery

Chapman underwent surgery with plates and screws placed in her right knee. She's uncertain whether her legs will heal properly or if she'll walk normally again.

“My life has really been changed, because who's to say that my legs are going to heal properly?”

Suspect bonded out of jail

Cabrera bonded out of Tarrant County Jail on September 21. Chapman says she's forgiven him but wants him prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

“To be 22 years old and just throw your life away like this is crazy.”
