Maria Espedido suffered seven broken ribs, damage to her liver and lungs, and a fracture in her right arm so severe it required the insertion of a steel plate.
The collision was captured in shocking dashcam video that showed Espedido walking in a crosswalk when she was struck by a vehicle appearing to make a left turn. The vehicle then drives away without slowing down.
A GoFundMe for Espedido, who works as a care aide, has raised just under $20,000.
