A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay for medical costs for two people who were seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash near the Century Center in South Bend on Saturday night, Sept. 26.
Sharif Elnaggar, 45, and Wendy Mills, 34, were seriously injured when they were hit by a dark colored passenger car while walking along St. Joseph Street at about 9:10 p.m.
Mills said in a Facebook post that the crash sent both she and ElNaggar flying into the air while the vehicle backed up then drove away. A couple nearby who witnessed the crash helped protect Mills and Elnaggar from oncoming traffic while waiting for emergency crews to arrive.
