“She has been through horrific trauma,” said Pamela Dupree.
Pamela said her daughter, Jasmin Dupree, is physically and emotionally scarred after she was struck by a vehicle and underwent bladder reconstruction surgery.
“Her stomach is hurting her really bad. So, I have to be there by her side, and I don’t know and don’t care when I go back because that’s my baby,” said Pamela who currently lives in Pittsburgh, P.A.
“Seeing my sister in that hospital bed, it broke me,” said Jasmin’s sister, Joi Dupree. “It devastated me. I just broke down and cried because I’ve never seen her in that much pain.”
Wilmington Police said Jasmin, 35, and 2 other women, ages 33 and 36, were hit by a vehicle on the 1600 block of Delaware Avenue around 2 a.m. Saturday. All 3 were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police said the driver left the scene. Pamela said Jasmin lives nearby, and she was just hanging out with friends during the time of the crash.
“The driver just came out of nowhere and just ran them down like they were bowling pins. It just was unbelievable,” said Pamela.
