Padilla said the driver could have killed her son.
“I want to know who did it, because they didn’t even bother to see if he was okay,” Padilla said. “His hat and glasses landed like twenty feet from where he landed.”
Padilla said after the accident, she got a call from paramedics Sunday telling her Anthony had been hit. The 911 call Anthony made shows that he was remarkably calm after the accident.
“I was like, on my bike and the car hit me, and my bike flipped when I was on it,” he tells the dispatcher. “The car that bumped into me, they’re not here no more.”
