It is advisable for drivers to reduce speed when they are traveling near schools or residential areas because kids are usually found along these areas. A driver who may have failed to do so hit a 7-year-old girl in Dana Point and fled after the incident.
According to reports, the victim sustained critical injuries after she was hit by a white pickup truck with a blue stripe in front of her house along La Paz Avenue and Silver Lantern Street.
The girl’s 6-year-old friend saw the whole incident and immediately called the victim’s older sister, who then asked the help of her father.
Reports said the girl was first brought to Mission Hospital in Laguna Beach. However, the injuries she sustained were too severe to be treated there so she was then transported to Children’s Hospital in Mission Viejo.
According to police, the girl is now under a guarded condition.
Authorities are still trying to locate the whereabouts of the hit-and-run driver.
