The man, terrified about who Jebbia may have been involved with, asked us to conceal his identity.
Authorities said he was driving a white Toyota when Jebbia slammed into him. He recounted the moment he became collateral damage.
The man told ABC13 it happened Wednesday afternoon when he was heading home.
He said the crash happened so fast and the impact was intense. All he knew was someone in a red truck hit him.
The man said he saw the red truck take off and police cars zoom past chasing after it.
At the time, he had no idea he was caught in the middle of a high-speed police chase.
