Shortly before 2 a.m., Christy Lawson heard a noise outside her house.

"I heard kind of what I thought was like a thumping. I thought it was like a door closing, a car or a door or something," she said.

When she saw police lights through the window a few minutes later, she realized something serious had happened.

"Lights and cops and unfortunately there was a man laying on the ground being treated by the ambulance," she said.

People who live at the intersection of 38th and Fawcett say they've seen their share of bad accidents here. They say drivers frequently drive way too fast on busy 38th St.

"My neighbor's dog was hit not too long ago. I've seen many dogs and animals hit. Killed. Our neighbor up the street got hit by a car, he lived, just earlier this year. It happens all the time," said Lindsey Spaulding.

"I think people just don't care," said Trudi Mann.

The accident happened at Fawcett Avenue and South 38th Street.

In this case, there appears to have been several people who didn't care. The man was hit not once, but twice by drivers who then kept on going.

Fortunately, witnesses did get a good luck at both vehicles involved.

The first is described as a red Chevrolet S-10 crew cab pick-up, the year 2000 or later. It had dark tinted windows and silver 22-inch rims.

The second vehicle is described as a white, 1998 four-door Lexus. It had gold trim and a tan-colored top.

Tacoma police are asking anyone with information about the accident or those vehicles to give them a call.
