Family members say the mother of seven is badly hurt.
"It's a tragedy, you know, we're having a hard time coping with all this. Like I said, she's got seven beautiful children sitting at home, and we're just… She's in critical condition, she's in a coma, and she's not doing good at all," said Corey Pacewicz.
The family is offering what they call a substantial reward for any information that leads to an arrest in this hit and run case in Scranton.
