"I heard a lot of banging and I didn't know what it was. I just heard all that banging and it woke me up!" she told reporters. "Bang, crash! I thought a house had fell or something."
Neighbors said speeding has been an issue at the intersection for a while.
"There's always accidents here. One time somebody ran into this building right here," said resident Evelyn Monteiro. "This is terrible over here, really bad, so maybe now they'll do something."
