A 14-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being injured in the same accident that killed her pregnant stepmother.
According to the New York Post, the girl, Sky Mendoza, is in a coma at NYC Health and Hospital Lincoln after undergoing surgery for bleeding in the brain and a broken spine.
Police say her stepmother, Jennifer Parisella, died when she rear-ended a truck on the Major Deegan Expressway near the RFK Bridge just before 7 a.m. Saturday.
