LARGO, Fla. (WFLA) — New details highlight how a trip to Walmart Thursday turned into a nightmare for a mother and her 6-year-old little girl.

Largo police said it started with 32-year-old Lauren Howells behind the wheel.

“She was recklessly driving in the parking lot of the Walmart,” Largo Police Chief Mike Loux said. “Ultimately, she hit a vehicle.”

“She hit a mother and the mother’s 6-year-old daughter,” he continued.

Loux said Howells crashed into Cristiane Souza de Oliveira and her daughter, Aylla, as they were leaving the store.

The story didn’t end there, Loux explained.

“The mother was hurled aside and struck by the vehicle, while the 6-year-old became trapped beneath it and was dragged for around 500 feet as the vehicle attempted to escape the parking lot,” Loux stated.

Court documents detailed their injuries, saying the mother suffered a skull fracture and a brain bleed.

The affidavit said her daughter was severely injured.

Some of those injuries included two broken legs, a broken arm, and skull and pelvic fractures.

Loux gave an update on their conditions Monday.

“The daughter is in serious critical condition as you can imagine,” Loux said. “The mother is also still in the hospital.”
