"We’re on Miramar Parkway on the side of the road," a caller tells a dispatcher in the recording. "We’re a group of runners and one of our friends is in the side of the road we think she might have gotten hit."

"No, I just fell," Delinois is heard saying in the background while crying and screaming in pain.
"She says she just fell but her injuries reflect a little bit more... She is bleeding from her head and has a lot of bruises," says the caller.

In the recording, Delinois can be heard complaining of the pain as she attempts to lie down.
"I'm so sad," Delinois says. "I want to lay down."
"You can't move, okay?" the caller says. "We want to keep you safe, okay? We got you."
The dispatcher stayed on the line until the caller confirmed the first responder had arrived at the scene.
"I'm sorry guys," Delinois says as the recording comes to an end.
"There's nothing to be sorry about," the caller says right before the call is disconnected.
Delinois' husband, Roosevelt Delinois, made an emotional plea Wednesday at Memorial Regional Hospital where his wife is still fighting for her life.
"My wife is amazing, she does so much for me and my family, she is selfless, she tries to help everyone else. I just want someone to say something, someone to come forward and say who did this to her," said Roosevelt Delinois, before breaking down in tears.
"I’m devastated... How would you feel if this was your family member, if this was your mom or your wife, or your daughter... this is not her fault; she did not do this someone else did this to her and just left her there," said Roosevelt Delinois.
Miramar police are still searching for the driver behind the hit-and-run.
"This is an ongoing investigation, we don’t have a vehicle right now," said the traffic homicide investigator.
Police said the car fled the scene after the crash.
The doctor treating Onyxia explained she is in critical condition and in a comatose state.
"We are extremely concerned about her neurological process... it's too early to tell what her neurological recovery and functions will look like," Dr. Rosenthal said.
Anyone with information as to the crash or with more information about a potential suspect is urged to contact the Miramar Police Department at 954-602-4000.
