(WSVN) &#8211; New video shows the chaotic events that took place on the streets of Miami Beach, which ended with two young tourists killed and the driver behind bars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video, obtained exclusively by 7News, shows the speeding car with its headlights off moments before the hit-and-run horror on the night of March 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Miami Beach Police, the driver fatally struck the two tourists who were crossing the street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But his wild ride didn\u2019t end with the fatalities. Police said city cameras captured 42-year-old Adan Negron-Morris zooming in and out of lanes, nearly hitting other vehicles and speeding on the eastbound lanes of North Beach streets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negron-Morris\u2019 first crash of the night happened in the area of Bay Drive and 71st Street. Officers responded to that crash, but Negron-Morris was nowhere to be found as he had driven away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cameras caught Negron-Morris heading northbound as he aimed toward 73rd Street and Collins Avenue. That\u2019s where the two college students, 22-year-old Sarisa Kongduang and 24-year-old Greatgomon Laowatdhanasapya, stood at the intersection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they crossed the street, police said Negron-Morris struck them with his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The awful incident was witnessed by bystanders on the busy street, and calls began pouring into 911.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey were hit by a car. Two people on the floor,\u201d said a caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey got run over. The cops are here! The cops are here!\u201d said another caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, my God! There has been an accident!\u201d said a third caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a car. There\u2019s like a car at the end of the road. It\u2019s pretty banged up,\u201d said a fourth caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both victims were from Thailand. One of them attended Indiana University. The other had recently graduated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the incident, paramedics rushed them to the hospital, but they succumbed to their injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was bad. They were unconscious. I was praying for them the whole time,\u201d said a bystander to police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As officers began their investigation, witnesses directed them into a nearby Walgreens where they said the hit-and-run driver had gone after he ditched his crumpled car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInside Walgreens?\u201d asked the officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s there. I don\u2019t know if he was driving,\u201d said the witness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negron-Morris was quickly confronted by responding officers <a href=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/miami-dade\/man-arrested-after-fatally-striking-2-college-students-on-collins-avenue-before-fleeing-into-walgreens-police-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">and handcuffed.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a police report, during questioning, the suspect told officers he intended to take his own life by crashing the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe voice coming on, coming on,\u201d he told officers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrest form stated he told detectives he had schizophrenia, and while driving, he was \u201cclosing his eyes, pressing the accelerator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, he allegedly took the lives of others instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspect remains behind bars on a list of charges as of late Thursday night. He is due back in court later this month.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp. All rights reserved.
