Distraught mum cries 'he's still warm' to paramedics as baby boy dies in LA hit-and-run

A family trip to the beach ended in tragedy after a one year old boy was killed by a hit-and-run driver. The horror crash happened in Playa Del Ray, Los Angeles this week, when Baby Roger Sandoval Farias was on his way home from a family trip to the beach when a Jeep Cherokee struck the vehicle Roger his mum and his uncle were traveling in. Eyewitnesses told local news outlet NBC4 that attempts to resuscitate Roger at the scene were unsuccessful. "I shouldn't be burying my son," Nicole Farias, Roger's mother, told NBC4. "I wanted to see him walk, you know?" "He's still warm, he's still warm," Farias was heard saying while desperately attempting to revive Roger, reports the Mirror US . Cory Cooper, one of several bystanders who rushed to help said: " (She) ran over and was holding the child. We held the baby and we tried to give the baby CPR for as long as we could, as best as we could, until the ambulance got there." Oswaldo Sandoval Amaya, Roger's uncle, was 25 years old and was also pronounced dead at the scene. According to a press release issued by the Los Angeles Police Department, the driver of the Jeep Cherokee abandoned the vehicle at the scene and fled on foot "without stopping to identify themselves or render aid as required by law." "The Los Angeles Fire Department's paramedics responded and pronounced one occupant of the BMW deceased at scene. The other 3 occupants of the BMW were transported to a local hospital, where one was later pronounced deceased, and one is listed in critical condition," the press release said. Eyewitness Cory Cooper added: "When I walked up to the accident, there were some people already there and there was a man holding the child, and it didn't look like the child was doing well, so we gave him CPR, waited for 911 and then they pulled out another passenger while we were giving CPR and she didn't look good, either," Cooper said. "And that's when the ambulances came." Roger's grandmother set up a fundraising page to raise funds for the family at such a devastating time. A message on the page reads: "Roger was a happy and joyful child who brought light to everyone around him. His resilience and smile touched the hearts of all who knew him, and he was truly a blessing to our family. "Losing Roger has been an unimaginable loss for our family. We are now facing the difficult task of arranging his funeral and memorial services, and we want to honor his life in the most beautiful way possible. The costs associated with these arrangements are significant, and we are reaching out for support to help us give Roger the farewell he deserves." You can donate to the GoFundMe page by clicking here.
