An Amazon delivery driver was arrested for a hit-and-run in Northeast Miami-Dade that left a mother and her fourth month-old son hospitalized on Thursday.
Miami-Dade Police said they arrested Sarahy Naybeth Parra-Ovalles, 45, on Friday and she is currently facing two counts of leaving the scene of a crash with bodily injury.
After making it more than halfway into the intersection, Parra-Ovalles turned onto 7th from 191st in the opposite lanes of traffic and hit the woman and stroller, arrest documents said. The woman was thrown backward onto the pavement while the stroller was knocked over, with the child falling onto the ground.
After the crash, Parra-Ovalles is seen stopping, getting out of her vehicle and walking over to them before setting the stroller upright and placing the child into it before leaving the scene.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue shortly responded to the scene and transported the mother and child to the hospital. A neighbor told CBS News Miami that the woman and her son are recovering.
After further investigation, Miami-Dade Police detectives were able to identify Parra-Ovalles as the driver. She was arrested and charged accordingly on Friday afternoon.
On Saturday, an Amazon spokesperson told CBS News Miami in a statement that Parra-Ovalles is “no longer delivering on behalf” of the e-commerce company.
“This is a terrible incident and our thoughts are with this family,” they said. “We’re looking into the matter and will support law enforcement as they investigate.”
