The driver of the pickup truck was heading south on Montello Street when they lost control, hit a fire hydrant, crashed into a home, struck the corner of that building and then hit three cars before landing on top of two of them, police said.

Police say the driver made it out alive, but is nowhere to be found after fleeing. No injuries were reported.

Filipe Alves woke up to the sound of the wreck, finding his van and two other vehicles owned by his relatives crushed by the pickup.

Casimiro Silveira rushed to the scene. He says he saw the driver and a teenage boy get out of the truck and run away.

"The guys that got out of the car, they just took off," he said.

Linda Chapman lived in the same home years ago, and she says she's never seen something like this happen.

"This is totally insane," she said. "I'm looking at it, I said, 'Wait a minute, is Evel Knievel back?'"

"We need people to slow down," said spokesperson Darren Duarte of the Brockton Police Department. "Just slow down and stop treating the road like it's the Indy 500."
