MELBOURNE, Fla. — Two Florida sisters have died after they were involved in a hit-and-run crash on their way to the grocery store.
Lt. Jeff Spears, a spokesman for the Palm Bay Police Department, said “their car was hit with such force that it essentially disintegrated. It rolled over several times.”
Police identified 61-year-old Noemi Hammen and 58-year-old Maria Ramirez as the women killed in Saturday night's crash. The women were pulling into the grocery store when a speeding car slammed into them.
Witnesses said the car that hit them may have been racing another car. Police are searching the area for surveillance video.
