Authorities described the deadly incident in Florida, which occurred on Valentine's Day, as "heartbreaking."
A woman was struck and killed by a dump truck in Florida as she pushed her infant son in a stroller, according to local authorities.
Miami police said that the driver of the truck ran over Jaklin Sabag, 33, on Wednesday as she crossed Biscayne Boulevard near Northeast 22nd Street in the Edgewater neighborhood.
Authorities said that they received a call about the accident around 1 p.m., and that the woman was pinned beneath the truck when they arrived.
Sabag had crossed in front of stopped traffic without using a nearby crosswalk, police said. They added that the truck driver wasn’t able to see the woman as she passed in front of his vehicle, leading him to run over Sabag when he drove forward.
Michael Vega, a Miami police officer, reportedly called the incident “heartbreaking,” noting that it occurred on Valentine’s Day.
