Rescuers desperately tried to save Davina who was pinned underneath the driver’s SUV, but the car wash collapsed on top of the vehicle, pelting it with bricks and a steel beam.
A family friend said she was on her way home from her charter school, and had stopped at a deli moments earlier with her teenage brother, who witnessed the ghastly carnage from across the street.
The distraught mother of the 10-girl-old girl who was fatally struck by a motorist with only a learner’s permit tearfully described her youngest daughter Thursday as her “baby” and her “mini-me.”
Davina Afokoba, was on the sidewalk on Beach Channel Drive near Dix Avenue in Far Rockaway when a black Mazda lost control and jumped the curb around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, striking her and a 32-year-old woman before slamming into a car wash, authorities said.
Davina’s mother, Priscilla Afokoba, couldn’t say a word without crying Thursday and even dropped to the ground in front of her home.
“My baby is dead,” cried the grieving mom, who needed to be held up by relatives and supporters. “They took my baby away. They took my baby away.”
“Davina is me, me, me,” Priscilla later told reporters. “Davina is my mini-me. She is my baby. My Davina, the day before yesterday she brought all her assignments, her homework. She has nothing less than an A.”
“She is telling me how much I owe her for her good grades,” she added. “Davina said, ‘I’m smart.’ I told her, ‘Yes, I know.’ Davina wrote a book. I haven’t even read it and they take her away from me. She is only 10. She is only 10. By April 18, she will be 11.”
