Florida Mom Left with ‘Catastrophic’ Injuries When She, Baby are Struck by Migrant Amazon Driver Who Fled
A Venezuelan migrant driving for Amazon smashed into a Florida mom who was pushing her 4-month-old infant in a stroller — causing the young mother “catastrophic” injuries and throwing the baby into the street, according to cops and video from the scene.
The mom, who has not been named publicly, was walking in the Ives Estates community outside Miami with her infant and the family dog on a leash when they were allegedly struck by Sarahy Parra-Ovalles last Thursday, according to the horrifying footage obtained by The Post.
The mother was dragged onto the front of the car, the home surveillance video showed.

Sarahy Parra-Ovalles, 45, is no longer delivering for Amazon, the company said.
The driver stopped her car and got out long enough to prop the stroller back up and put the baby in the seat — and then fled.
She left “the baby alone in the middle of the intersection and the mom bleeding from her skull,” the family’s lawyer Judd Rosen told The Post Tuesday.
A few days after the wreck, the mom was home recovering from “a catastrophic brain injury, a broken skull and a brain bleed,” Rosen said.
Parra-Ovalles, 45, entered the US on a tourist visa in 2019, which expired in 2021, Homeland Security sources told The Post.
She was granted Temporary Protected Status in 2021, which allowed her apply for a work permit.
Parra-Ovalles was arrested Friday on charges of leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury and leaving the scene of a crash without serious bodily injury, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
She was later released on bond.
She left “the baby alone in the middle of the intersection and the mom bleeding from her skull,” the family’s lawyer told The Post Tuesday.
