CARROLLTON, Texas - Family and friends said goodbye Tuesday to the 12-year-old boy who was hit and killed while walking on the sidewalk in Carrollton.
They gathered for a funeral mass at the Mary Immaculate Church to remember Victor Garcia.
He was walking home from the grocery store with his mother and 7-year-old nephew when police said a driver swerved to avoid another car and jumped the curb.
Garcia reportedly pushed his mom away before being hit by the van.
