A spokesman for the St Johns County Sheriff’s Office alerted Historic City News that a 15-year-old girl was struck down in the 2000 block of Kenton Morrison Road at about 8:30 p.m. tonight near Four Mile Road in St Augustine.
The victim was walking with friends; when a small, possibly gold, truck hit her and then fled the scene without stopping or offering aid.
The victim was declared a trauma alert at the scene; and, although she was set to be flown via air ambulance to UF Health Jacksonville, St Johns County Fire Rescue reports those plans were aborted due to the weather. The patient was stabilized for transportation by ground, in critical condition.
Deputies are asking Historic City News readers to assist in the investigation if they have any information concerning the identity of the driver, or the whereabouts of the hit-and-run vehicle. If you have any information, please call 904-824-8304.
