Hit-and-run motorist struck girl, her dog
via AugustaChronicle.com.
Authorities said a 12-year-old girl was hospitalized after she and her dog were struck by a car Tuesday evening. The girl and her friend were walking the dog along the shoulder of Clark Road at 8:11 p.m. when a car traveling westbound toward Trunnion Drive left the roadway striking the girl and dog. The victim was transported to a hospital by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries, said Richmond County sheriff’s Lt. Scott Gay. Cpl. Bill Adams said this afternoon the girl is recuperating and is fine other than a little soreness. Adams said, however, the dog apparently did not survive. The girls were walking at a safe distance on the shoulder of the road. However, they were walking the wrong direction, Adams said. Both girls were walking with their backs to traffic. Adams said there are no streetlamps, sidewalks or fog lines to separate the roadway from the shoulder in the rural community. The vehicle is described as a newer model dark blue Ford Mustang with a white stripe. The witness described the driver as a white male in his late teens to early 20s. Authorities are asking anyone with information on the vehicle to contact Cpl. Adams at (706) 821-1256.
