A 22-year-old man is facing months of recovery after a hit-and-run crash on Valentine’s Day left him with multiple broken bones and killed his dog, according to police and his family. Edwardo Ramos was hit less than a block from his home while crossing Roswell Street at Melrose Place in Emerald Hills. Police say a driver came up the hill at a high rate of speed and ran a stop sign before striking him. There is no evidence that the driver attempted to stop or slow down. The crash broke both of Ramos’ legs, injured his lower spine, and dislocated his left ankle. He is battered, bruised, and groggy after days of intense treatment. For his family, his return home is emotional. Sebastian Ramos said seeing his younger brother in that condition has been overwhelming. “It’s like, it’s really hard, it’s like a punch in the gut seeing my little brother like that,“ Sebastian Ramos said. Still, he said they are grateful he survived. “I’m really grateful. We’re really lucky to have him still,” Sebastian Ramos said. Ramos does not remember what happened that day. Along with his severe injuries, the family dog, Selenica — who had been with him since he was 12 — was killed in the collision. Their doorbell camera captured one of Ramos’s brothers and sisters running to the corner to help after hearing the crash. Sebastian Ramos said the driver’s actions were inexcusable. “Really heartless and reckless to be doing that in this neighborhood, “ Sebastian Ramos said. Police do not have a clear description of the car or driver. The vehicle was recorded on a neighbor’s doorbell camera, and investigators are working to obtain and review that video. Sebastian Ramos said the family wants accountability. “It’s very important to see the man be held accountable for the things he’d done to my little brother,” Sebastian Ramos said. Ramos is expected to need at least six more months before he can get back on his feet. While his physical injuries may eventually heal, his family says the trauma of that day will not be easily forgotten.
