Phatisa Steele, 9, was hit by a truck on Friday and was taken off life support Sunday. Police said she was running across Carpenter Avenue when a driver hit her.
Friday night, doctors at Arnold Palmer hospital declared her brain dead. But next door at Winnie Palmer hospital, her mother had just delivered the girl's baby brother a few hours earlier.
"When I wake up in the morning I'm going to cry. When I go to sleep I'm going to cry until I can just fully accept it," said Ramona Carroll, Phatisa's mother.
Eyewitnesses said the driver was on a cell phone at the time of the crash. Police say no one has been charged and the incident is still under investigation.
