Birmingham AL – Video of a deadly drag race on a Birmingham street has made its way on to YouTube. It happened yesterday (Sunday) just before 4:30 p.m. on Republic Boulevard in the Pratt City area.
Police said the driver of one of the vehicles lost control then struck and killed a person who was watching the race. The situation took an even deadlier turn after a man trying to help the injured pedestrian was shot and killed.
Police said two groups were involved in the racing one from Florida and another from Tennessee. No arrests were made and police withheld the names of the people killed.
