Marroquin, a 31 year-old mother from Imperial Beach, talked to CBS 8 from Sharp Memorial hospital, where she's been staying for the past several weeks, missing her kids everyday.
“I just want to see my babies,” said Marroquin, who is still in shock, but says she is thankful to still be alive after coming close to death.
Marroquin and her five kids were riding their bikes two weeks ago, they were crossing the intersection on 11th street and Fern Ave. When she says a 78-year-old driver in a Silverado pickup truck failed to stop at a stop sign and struck her and her daughter.
Marroquin and her 11-year-old daughter were both hospitalized. Her daughter was not seriously hurt, but Marroquin was. Marroquin's leg was dragged by the truck and she needed several blood transfusions.
“I was under the truck and I just remember the tires hitting my legs, I was screaming for help. My little ones came running and they called 911, the guy never exited the vehicle. The crowd that came out, thankfully they saw what happened and surrounded his truck so he wouldn’t leave,” said Marroquin
