PHOENIX (AP) — The mother of a Phoenix toddler who was suffered multiple injuries after being struck by a red light-runner says her son has a long road of recovery ahead. Tyliah Green told AZFamily.com on Monday that 2-year-old Jayden Garcia is hospitalized in stable condition. But he has a brain bleed, cracked skull, a broken wrist and pelvis. Still, Green says he is lucky to be alive. Phoenix police say the hit-and-run happened just before 8:30 p.m. Sunday near 19th and Glendale avenues. Green’s uncle was pushing the stroller in the crosswalk and had the right of way. Police have since arrested Davorah Jerrice Ross on suspicion of being the driver.
