An Ohio mother was struck by her own vehicle and later died after trying to save her child from someone attempting to steal her car, according to the Columbus Division of Police. Alexa Stakely, 29, was picking up her 6-year-old child from her babysitter’s apartment just before 1:30 a.m. ET on Thursday when she realized she needed to go back inside to get an item “from the babysitter who she met just inside the front door,” the police report stated. As she returned to her vehicle, authorities say Stakely saw someone starting to back her Honda SUV out of the driveway with her sleeping child still inside the vehicle. The mother was seen running after the stolen car and screaming for her child when she was struck by the car and thrown onto the pavement, according to the police report. Stakely was pronounced dead at a hospital several hours later, authorities said. Her sleeping son was later found unharmed in the abandoned car nearby, according to the report.
