Family Awarded $36M Settlement For Schoolchild Struck By Car

Isabella Sanchez has always been doted on. She’s the baby of the family. But these days, that doting is more out of necessity — not just love. “We live for Isabella. my husband and I, we live for her. we’re her arms, we’re her eyes, we’re her body,” mom Carina told CBS2’s Tina Patel. Isabella has been confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak since 2012.
She was 6-years-old then and running for her school bus when she was hit by a car. It happened at 9th Street and Highland.
Carina admits her daughter had jaywalked. She said it was something many kids in the area did.
