Norwalk father speaks out after birthday hit-and-run strikes twin sons

Castor and Pollux, Moore of Norwalk are bound to never forget their seventh birthday because that was the day police say they were struck by a hit and run driver right here at Wilton Avenue and Cross Street in Norwalk while they were crossing the street with their dad. on their way to school. They literally just took maybe two or three steps ahead of me and then the car came and hit them. There was like a, like a loud like pow! And then they just went like flying. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Wesley Moore met up with us today back here where the accident happened, his son, Castor, in a cast with a broken leg. But the other twin, Pollux, who wasn't as seriously hurt, was already back in school. I'm... Extremely grateful that my children are still alive. The hit-and-run driver was going down Wilton Avenue. He makes a left on Cross Street, and that's when he hits the boys with you just behind them. Police identify the driver as 68-year-old Joseph Campbell of Norwalk, who fled the scene in a black Mini Cooper, but later turned himself in. I ran to them. I picked Pollux up, and I tried to pick him up as well, but his leg was broken. I didn't know at the time, and he screamed. The dad says he was grateful that a quick-thinking ER worker jumped in and knew exactly what to do. To the good Samaritan that stopped to help us, we just want to say thank you so much. A happy birthday is supposed to be about presents and parties. This dad is just grateful for the gift of having both sons alive and well today. I couldn't imagine hitting somebody and not stopping, but two children is crazy. And Campbell, whose charges include evading responsibility with serious physical injury and operating without a license? Is due back in court next month in Norwalk. Frank Recchia News 12.
