Phoenix police say a car pulled up and hit David from behind. Before falling to the ground, he pushed Aiden out of the way.
On May 28, David Espinoza and his 5-year-old son Aiden were walking to the park on Wood Street, north of Broadway, when Mims hit David with her Honda Civic on 24th Street, police said.
