Description
Security video from a home on North High School Road shows the exact moment Dustin Dove's life changed.
The footage shows a car speeding down the street and hitting Dove before driving off.
"Maybe they were scared about having something in their vehicle they shouldn't have or something like that at the time, but go fix it afterwards, ya know?" Dove said.
The incident happened 1400 block of North High School Road, near 10th Street and Interstate 465 on the west side of Indianapolis, around 4 a.m. Aug. 18.
Dove and 13News reporter Chase Houle first spoke in August at his hospital bed, two days after he was hit. It was then we learned one of his legs would have to be amputated.
"I went from working 40 hours a week to not working and just trying to piece my life together," Dove said.
After nearly a month at a VA hospital, the Army veteran got to go home — but not to how he left it the night the crash happened. The bedroom he now sits in used to be the living room of his two-story apartment.
