"Why do you want to run and hit a person and not feel sorry for it?" said Sharlene Carmon, Chance's wife. "No apologies, nothing. It's not right."

Camron hopes authorities eventually file criminal charges because of the damage the accident has already done to Chance and their family.
"We're crying, not sleeping, not eating," said Camron. "We have to spend our Christmas up here at the hospital. I just want justice served."
Durham Police are still investigating the crash.
