Victoria Martins-Read was walking to a bus stop with her two daughters Saturday evening when her world changed forever.
Her youngest daughter, 2-year-old Maggie, had kicked off her shoes during a stop at a nearby store so Baylei, her 9-year-old, had stopped to help the younger sibling get them back on.
As Martins-Read waited near the corner of Northwest Eastman Parkway and Northwest Third Street around 5:45 p.m., she noticed a red vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed. The car jumped the curb, Martins-Read said, and struck the family.
