A delivery driver working in a Northeast Miami-Dade neighborhood was arrested following a hit-and-run that left a mother and her 6-month-old son injured.
On the morning of August 22, a 45-year-old woman was driving what was believed to be an Amazon delivery vehicle and making package deliveries in the Aventura Isles gated community. At the same time, a 30-year-old woman was pushing her youngster in a stroller and walking her dog when she began to cross the street using the crosswalk. At the same time, the delivery driver was making a sharp left turn. The SUV struck the mother and child, and the impact caused the mother to fall onto the ground, and the infant was thrown out of the stroller. According to reports, before she drove away, the driver got out of the vehicle and put the 3-year-old, who was crying, back in his stroller.
A nurse who lived near the accident site heard the baby crying, and when she saw the mother lying in the street, she went outside to try to assist the alleged victims until the paramedics arrived. When they got there, they took the woman and child to Memorial Regional Hospital for treatment.
