The media reported it as a “Christmas miracle.” Nanny from Brooklyn, 52-year-old Arcelli Mushamp, risking her life, at the last moment literally shoved a stroller with a one-year-old baby left in her care from under the wheels of a moving truck. The carriage stopped, buried in a car parked by the side of the road. The boy, whose name is Rowan Duheim, was saved. However, the savior suffered. The car hit her.
The baby’s mother, 34-year-old Katie Duheim, says she was not surprised by the nanny’s selfless behavior.
“It’s 100% her nature to put the interests of others ahead of her own,” Katie told the Daily News reporter. – She was part of our family. She is a wonderful nanny, very caring, loving a child. “
Arselli Mushamp emigrated to America from Belize in the early 1990s. Since then, she has worked as a nanny in Brooklyn. She is well known in the Park Slope area, where the incident took place. Mushamp has two grown children. She received American citizenship.
After being hit by a truck, she fell and fainted. The victim was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Brooklyn Methodist. She suffered a serious head injury and immediately underwent brain surgery. Doctors put her into an artificial coma. They fought as best they could for her life. But, unfortunately, no success. Just before New Years, the “heroic nanny,” as the Brooklyn people called her, died.
Her daughter, 22-year-old Rahzel Mushamp, will be seeking murder charges against the 68-year-old driver who robbed her of her mother.
