Las Vegas girl, 13, booked for jaywalking while still in coma after car hit
A 13-year-old girl left in a coma after a car accident was issued a jaywalking ticket in the hospital by Las Vegas police.
The mother of Takara Davis, who remained in a medically-induced coma today, slammed the officials who handed her the ticket for her daughter as the child was being rushed into the operating theatre, according to the report by KVVU.
"That was not the time or place to come and hand me a jaywalking ticket for my child," Kellie Obong said. "How cold could you really be?"
Ms Obong, a cab driver, said her daughter was trying to keep up with friends yesterday as they crossed the street when she was hit by the oncoming car.
"She hit the windshield, flipped three times in the air and from the point of impact to where her body was ... Metro [police] told me she was 125 feet [away] (38m)," Ms Obong said.
Police said the girl was not in a crosswalk.
