MIAMI – A community of mothers gathered to remember a fellow mom who died after being hit by a truck near downtown Miami.
Along Biscayne Boulevard and 22nd Street, a memorial sits in remembrance of Jaklin Sabag, the mother was walking her 8-month-old baby in a stroller when she was hit by a truck and killed.
“I can’t think about the baby. I can’t,” said Laura Espejo, from the group mothers of Margaret Pace Park.
A community of mothers in the Edgewater neighborhood gathered to lay flowers and light candles for Sabag.
Sabag was a mother of three who died just blocks away from her home.
Her infant son is still in the hospital.
“I think it was really tragic for all of us who kept seeing how heartbreaking it was. It could be any of us. As everyone knows, that this is a busy, busy street. Especially during this time right now. As you can see. I think the whole group was shaken. And I’m really glad we can all come together today to remember her,” said Alexandra Paz, from the group mothers of Margaret Pace Park.
