Fort Worth Police are looking for two people wanted in connection with a series of hit-and-run crashes that damaged six parked vehicles early Wednesday morning.
Amanda Alexander said she was headed to work at about 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday when she learned her car had been damaged in a hit-and-run crash.
“[I] came outside and it looked like a little, a little bomb went off. I mean, just unbelievable,” she said.
Alexander’s brand-new car was among six that Fort Worth Police said were hit by a driver at about 3 a.m. near the Broadway Chapter apartments on Hemphill Street.

Six parked cars were damaged in a series of hit-and-run crashes in Fort Worth early Wednesday morning, Oct. 15, 2025.
Many of the damaged vehicles were still on the street on Thursday as drivers coordinated repairs with their insurance companies.
“You’re not really sure what you’re looking at at 4:30 in the morning — it’s just, it was unexpected, terrifying. I mean, just a lot to take in,” she said.
Alexander was staying overnight with a friend.
“I’m just here working three days a week in Fort Worth. So, when I’m on-call, I stay here,” she said.
NBC 5 obtained security camera footage from a nearby business that showed the crashes. The video shows sparks trailing behind the car as the driver drove away.

Sparks fly from the back of an SUV that police say smashed into six parked cars early Wednesday morning.
Police said the vehicle was a white 2016 Ford Expedition with heavy damage in the front. They found the SUV parked nearby, but no one was inside.
Another nearby business owner showed NBC 5 their security footage, taken seconds after the crash. Two people were recorded getting out of the SUV and then running away.
“I’m like, ‘Wow, all these cars are, you know… jacked up,’” said Selena Perez, who lives at Broadway Chapter and noticed the trail of damaged cars later that morning.
She typically walks her dog along the same sidewalk, but she now thinks driving to a park or trail might be a better idea.
“It could’ve easily been a person [hit] and, obviously, that would’ve been even more devastating,” Perez said.
She also said she wouldn’t park on the street anymore and would make sure her visitors didn’t, either. Perez said she’ll use the apartment complex’s garage.
“I’ll go through the trouble of registering their cars and everything, because that’s just not worth it at all, to risk it,” she said.
Alexander agreed.
“There will be no parking on the street,” she said.
Although her brand-new car is ruined, she’s grateful she wasn’t in it, and no one else was in their cars, either.
“Thank God no one was in their car. Thank God no one was injured,” she said.
