Moments later, the driver bailed out of the moving vehicle and began running through the Asante apartments near the intersection of South Jim Miller Road and Gayglen Drive. Dallas police were seen searching a wooded area near the complex and arrested two people in connection with the incident, though neither is believed to be the driver. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
