MIAMI -- A 90-year-old woman is in critical but stable condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami after being struck by an SUV driven by Mike Tyson's ex-wife, Robin Givens, police said. The victim has been identified as Maria Antonia Alcover.
Witnesses said that around 6:20 Wednesday evening, Alcover was crossing Biscayne Boulevard near the intersection of Northeast 79th Street. They said she had gotten about half way across the street when the light changed. At that point a southbound Mercedes SUV that had stopped at the red light, proceeded through the intersection when the light turned green.
Police say the victim fell backward and her right foot, which landed underneath the still moving SUV, was nearly severed.
The driver of the vehicle continued on before realizing that witnesses were trying to flag her down. It was at that point that police say she realized she had hit someone.
That driver was later identified as 39-year-old Robin Givens. Police say Givens was very shaken by the experience and showed concern for the victim.
Miami Police spokesman Delrish Moss said Givens was issued a traffic ticket for failing to use due care when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. It carries a fine of about $60 to $70.
