At about 2:15pm, Michael Hobbs, 18, was speeding in a stolen SUV with four other passengers on West Wilbur Avenue when he ran through a stop sign and struck a car containing the Mary Hanson, 64, who went by 'Tina', and her husband Bernard Hanson, 74. The Hansons' vehicle then careened into a third vehicle, driven by Judy Whitaker, 66. The five teenagers in the SUV all ran from the scene, but they were all eventually apprehended and taken into custody. Mary and Bernard Hanson were both killed in the crash, and Whitaker was hospitalized with injuries, though they were not life-threatening.
