Natalie Winger was in a motorized wheelchair Sunday night in a Hesperia street, her puppy Angel on her lap, when a dark sedan struck her and drove off.
The impact split Winger's wheelchair in two and left her with a concussion, a broken nose and eye socket and other broken bones in her face.
"It's almost like he gunned it," said Winger, nursing a black eye. "And didn't care where he was going."
Her boyfriend, Paul Lejk, was close behind in his own wheelchair. He thought the driver was going to stop because the car slowed down.
"I just heard a big collision," he said.
The car kept going east on Main Street and went up over a bridge.
Police hope surveillance video will help identify the driver.
Angel did not recover and was euthanized.
Winger says losing Angel is more painful than the injuries she suffered from the crash.
"I feel like my family has been torn apart," she said. "We were that close."
Natalie is now demanding the driver come forward and accept responsibility for what happened.
"Get on your knees and pray 'cause judgment day is coming," she said.
