A single mother of four recovers in the hospital after being struck and knocked over by an SUV on Whittier Boulevard
A mother of four recounts hit-and-run after an SUV struck her unconscious as she was dropping off her son on Whittier Boulevard.
Covered in her own blood, Ortiz woke up to the sound of her 11-year-old son asking her to wake up. A passing car had just struck her as she stood next to parked cars on the street. The driver left the scene. Surveillance footage from L-A Jack’s Sports Store, located across the street, captured the incident as she emerged from her parked vehicle to take her son to the barbershop."I looked out my rearview mirror before I got out of my car, I saw a car far away, you know, in that lane but in the distance," Ortiz explained.
Her son, Collin, who was on the sidewalk, immediately rushed into the barbershop, urgently seeking help by dialing 9-1-1. "He's really the one that saved my life with no other cars stopping," Ortiz acknowledged, grateful for her son's quick thinking.
