"My baby was bloody everywhere. Her clothes was bloody. Her coat was bloody," Mitchell described.
Wynter required multiple stitches above her eye and on her arm following the crash. Mitchell said her daughter remains traumatized by the experience.
"She's shocked. I have never seen my baby this shocked before," she said.
The daycare driver, who Mitchell identified as "Mr. Al," was being treated at Froedtert Hospital for minor injuries. Mitchell expressed gratitude toward those who helped at the scene.
"Thankful for all of the civilians that was out there that was able to help Mr. Al and Wynter," she said.
According to Mitchell, Al picks up her daughter and other children daily from school to take them to Dream Land Childcare. What should have been a routine day turned into a nightmare.
"You thought it was going to be a normal day," Mitchell was asked. "Yep, never expected to get this phone call," she replied.
