Shortly after she was struck, she was hit by a second driver that didn't see her in the road. That driver stayed at the scene, but Sunny did not survive.
The owner of a nearby pool shop checked his surveillance cameras and realized they had recorded the hit-and-run.
"I don't know how you can do that. I don't know what type of human being you can be to do something and just run off," said Emin Yaghouei. "She was always smiling, always praying, always nice to people."
