Golden Gloves Champ Fighting For His Life After Horrific Accident Killing His 21 Year Old Sister

The pair exited the vehicle to check on a car ahead of them, another collision ensued behind them, and they were pushed off the 75-foot-high elevated overpass onto a construction site below.

The talented boxing champion severely injured in a Bronx pileup moved his hands and feet Tuesday but remains in an “extremely critical” condition.

Pedro Luis Sosa’s uncle said the young fighter remains heavily medicated, but family have seen some movement in his limbs and remain optimistic he may pull through.

“We’re hoping for the best,” Rudy Escoto told the Daily News. “That’s all we can do.”

Sosa, 20, underwent life-saving surgery Monday when doctors operated on his punctured lung, damaged liver and broken ribs, his family said.

He was also given a CAT scan to check for brain damage after the horrific accident on the Cross Bronx Expressway Sunday morning that claimed his sister’s life.

The siblings were driving east in a packed Chevy Venture at 5:45 a.m. when icy roads caused by the freak October nor’easter sparked a series of pileups.

As the pair exited the vehicle to check on a car ahead of them, another collision ensued behind them, and they were pushed off the 75-foot-high elevated overpass onto a construction site below.

hey landed in a sand pile, which cushioned their fall but Sosa’s sister, Jennifer, 21, suffered internal bleeding and died at Jacobi Medical Center.

She worked at Yonkers Raceway and was the mother of a 1-year-old boy.

Sosa, a Golden Gloves champion who was on the cusp of turning pro, remained in an extremely critical condition in the hospital s intensive care unit Tuesday, a spokeswoman said.
