As Natalia Miranda lay on the ground, she didn't know how she got there. Her body was severely swollen and her clothes were torn and dirty.
A SUV ran over the 14-year-old a few weeks before Christmas last year. She says she was walking the two blocks between her home in Clive, Iowa, and her junior high school to watch a basketball game.
Neither Natalia or her parents could make sense of what happened but soon, police told the family that it wasn't an accident. The driver, a White woman, admitted that she intentionally hit the teen, police said.
