Bellevue traffic cameras captured some disturbing video as a street racer was caught on video nearly hitting a pedestrian who was walking across a busy intersection.
The close call, which happened around midnight on Wednesday, shows just how dangerous illegal street racing can be."I see this racing," said Pedro Paris, a Bellevue resident. "I think he’s escaped from the police or something."Paris believes that he saw the dark purple car that was caught speeding through the intersection near NE 8th and 148th."I saw like the car, but just a little, not too much, because they passed by really fast," said Paris.
He was arrested for reckless driving."Very dangerous, because people are coming out of the stores and walk the streets, and the car's coming really fast, really dangerous," said Paris.Police say close calls like that are becoming all too common, with Bellevue Police also arresting a driver in late April after they were caught on camera racing another car off NE 8th before crashing into a wall.
