"My fiance, she was pregnant and from the accident we ended up losing our first born child," said Timothy Smith Wilson, whose brother and fiance were victims in the collision.
Wilson's brother suffered a broken shoulder and fractured face and his fiance suffered from a broken wrist, leg and had to be put on life support.Wilson say's he's grateful his fiance and brother are alive but would like the hit and run driver to come forward.
"If yo do something own up to it," said Wilson. "The person could have stopped, he could have been there for them, it was an accident."
