ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Bystanders outside of an Albuquerque grocery store were shocked to see a woman on the hood of a car, as the driver sped off. Body cam footage shows officers arrive at the Smith’s near Yale and Coal, speaking with witnesses who described what they heard as a white Dodge Challenger sped away.
“‘Cause when I came out, I heard screaming,” said a witness as they told police what happened on April 29. “I seen a car back up and we saw her on the hood and then he hauled *** that way.”
Police said a white Dodge Challenger, which they believe was being driven by 27-year-old David Cervantes, was seen on the store’s security cameras with his girlfriend hanging onto the hood of the car. “He was flying through that parking lot,” said an officer as he watched the security footage.
