Mother and daughter run over on a pedestrian crossing on Carlos Lindenberg Avenue in the Glória neighborhood, in Vila Velha, on Wednesday night (21), are in serious condition. The victims were identified as Mara Núbia Borges and Laura Beatriz, 5 years old.


In a live interview with Tribuna Notícias, the victim's husband, who was at the scene of the accident, reported what happened — and says he wants justice.


Heidson Fantoni was waiting for his family on the other side of the pedestrian crossing when the accident happened. Mother and daughter were leaving the Glória Emergency Room, where they sought care after the child reported pain below her belly button.


He says the driver was speeding and fled without providing assistance. "I went to get them and a black Fox came speeding, ran a red light and crashed into them. I didn't see it because I was parking the car, but I got scared and when I saw it, my daughter was on the ground covered in blood. My wife was ahead, I was desperate, and the driver didn't stop, he drove forward and drove away," he said, emotionally.


"I was speechless, desperate, and soon after the police and the ambulance arrived." The girl, who has level 1 autism and epilepsy, was taken to the hospital in serious condition and has been unconscious ever since.


"My daughter lost a lot of blood and is having trouble breathing. She is intubated, sedated and the doctors are seeing if she will have any reaction. They asked me to gather the family and warn them that the worst could happen at any moment," said the father. The child needed a blood transfusion and is intubated. In the next few hours, the sedation will be reduced.


The girl's mother is hospitalized at the Vitória Emergency Hospital, São Lucas. According to Heidson, a head injury was ruled out, but she has no movement in her left arm and leg. She will have to undergo at least two surgeries.


Driver was released after paying bail
The driver who ran over a mother and daughter in a pedestrian crossing on Carlos Lindenberg Avenue in the Glória neighborhood, in Vila Velha, on Wednesday night (21), was heard and released to respond in freedom after paying bail in the amount of R$1,500.


According to the Civil Police, the driver, who is 20 years old, was charged with negligent bodily harm while driving a motor vehicle and for failing to provide immediate assistance to the victim — or, if he could not provide assistance directly, for just cause, failing to request assistance from the public authority.


The Military Police reported that the license plate of the car was noted down by witnesses. This made it possible to identify and contact the owner, who said he would show up.


"About an hour and twenty minutes later, he went to the Regional Police Station, where he took a breathalyzer test, which showed no alcohol consumption. However, the driver did not show the vehicle and said it was already at a repair shop," the police said in a statement.


Heidson Fantoni said, during the interview for TV Tribuna, that the driver arrived at the police station accompanied by family members and a lawyer. He claims that the driver seemed calm and did not apologize to him. "I just want justice. This can't go on like this, the guy fled the scene," he asked, emotionally.
