TACOMA, Wash. — Nine-year-old Annalese DeRosa is finally at home from the hospital, getting to make banana bread with mom. She has proved she is a tough egg to crack. Last week, police say, a speeding semi ran a red light slamming into their minivan, pinning them against a building.
“I looked back at her and she was sprawled in the back with blood coming from her face, and she was out,” said her mother, Stephanie DeRosa. “All I could scream was ‘Get my baby! Get my baby!”
Tacoma Fire Department paramedic Jeff Bambrick was one of the firefighters who responded. He didn’t realize until later, when an announcement went out at his sons’ school, that he knew the family.
