Waitress Maria Uriostegui says she is "blessed to be alive" after four customers, one man and three women ranging in age from 18 to 24, had dinner Sunday night at a Mexican restaurant in Anaheim, California and following the meal, tried to dine-and-dash.

Maria Uriostegui ran out to the parking lot, and says she politely tapped on their car window asking, "Hey, folks, did you forget to pay?" The diners reportedly laughed at her, and then ran her over and drove out of the parking lot. CCTV footage broadcast on news stations captured horrifying video showing Maria confronting the suspects and then being struck by their car.

Miraculously however, Maria, a 28-year-old mom, survived and was able to stand up just seconds after being hit. She suffered only bruises and scrapes. The suspect's car was spotted by cops in a motel parking lot just three blocks away and the four were arrested and face serious criminal charges.
