COON RAPIDS, Iowa (KCCI) — A 15-month-old girl who was accidentally struck by a vehicle driven by her mother in Coon Rapids last week has died, police said.
Coon Rapids police said Mia Mauricio, who was hit July 27 when she was in the path of an SUV driven by her mother, who did not see her, passed away after a hard fight in the hospital. Her organs are being donated, police said.
Since the accident, Juan Trevino, Mia’s uncle, said the family has been overwhelmed by community support.
Trevino said donations have been pouring in, and local businesses have started fundraisers, but he warned that at least one fake Venmo account has been posing as a family member and asking for money.
