The video reveals the scene as officers arrived at a family's apartment, where an intoxicated driver, identified as 22-year-old Jesus Cruz, had recklessly slammed his car into the building. The impact of the collision was so severe that it took the life of a teenage victim who was sleeping inside the apartment at the time, and left another child with serious injuries.
