"Her body saved them," her mother, Jodie Kelley, told the station. "The boys say they saw her open her eyes and look at them, and then she closed her eyes, never opened them again. They remember that."
Michigan State Police said the 25-year-old male driver who struck Galazka's vehicle was speeding and driving on a suspended license, the station reported.
He fled the scene of the accident and was later found at a hospital, police said.
