At that time, officials said, a dark-colored minivan, traveling southbound on B Street went around another vehicle in the roadway and struck all three pedestrians as they crossed the street, before it took off, continuing on along B Street.

“To strike three people and just keep going, it’s just, it’s exceptionally callous," Commanding officer of the Crash Investigation Division Captain Robert Heinzeroth said.

Police officials said a 59-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, who were struck in the incident, were transported to a nearby hospital and were listed in stable condition.

A 56-year-old woman who was also injured in the crash was listed in critical condition after, officials said, she suffered head trauma and internal injuries.

Law enforcement officials described the minivan as dark in color and having a unique-looking red and white logo on each side.

Police say they are investigating the incident and the whole thing was caught on camera.
