"A seemingly ordinary and beautiful day turned into a nightmare for her and her parents. A vehicle inadvertently hit the stroller in which little Sophia was in in a parking lot.
"The little girl arrived at the hospital with a broken pelvis and blood on the brain.
"Despite the doctors' efforts, Sophia could not cope with the impact, the operation, anesthesia, blood on the brain and all the injuries were too much for her fragile heart, which finally gave out.
