Investigators said the crash happened along Easy Street in Port Charlotte just after 5 p.m. on Thursday. According to FHP, the 12-year-old was riding her electric scooter when she entered the path of a minivan. Florida mother of dead 6-year-old was trying to 'exorcise demons': sheriff The driver, Arlin Salazar, was arrested after investigators said she did not have a valid license, which she had been cited for before. Troopers said a man, who was in the passenger seat, fled the scene and hasn't been identified. Neighbor Nicole Isgrig told WBBH that she was outside with her children when the road was suddenly blocked by emergency responders. 'We saw Eden's scooter at the end of the road and knew something was wrong,' she said. Isgrig told the news station she won't let her kids out of her sight now.

She was wearing a helmet, which her family believes saved her life. FHP told WBBH that it has referred Salazar's case to ICE for review.
