ICE Crash in West Oakland Totals Pregnant Woman's Car | KQED
""It left me with a huge amount of damage and no accountability," she said."
""It's kind of like I'm just left dangling here," Flaherty told KQED. "It's going to be a setback, especially during the holidays.""
""It caused a huge setback for me, but for me, it's material stuff and for him, it's his life. When he was running, he was running for his life," she said."
Flaherty's front bumper was completely totaled and the car was undrivable, leaving her without reliable transportation. She lives with her nine-year-old daughter and mother, relies on the car for prenatal appointments and work as a social worker, and now faces difficulties transporting her child and clients. She filed a police report and OPD said it was investigating, but she has not been contacted. She began an insurance claim and started a GoFundMe but fears compensation will not replace the car. Fife offered to assist with rental reimbursement; she has used Uber and taken time off work.
