Sacramento, CA : Child seriously injured in Fallbrook hit-run on Monday, February 20th 2017

A 3-year-old girl was struck by hit-and-run driver and seriously injured in Fallbrook Monday night, the California Highway Patrol said.

The child was airlifted to Rady Children’s Hospital. No update on her condition was available Tuesday.

A family on Vanita Street, near Porter Street, was visiting with friends and working on a vehicle in the driveway about 9 p.m., CHP Officer Jim Bettencourt said.

They heard the sounds of a vehicle running over something, and found their little girl lying in the road, injured.

They didn’t get a good look at the vehicle as it kept going northbound, but said it was a white SUV. The CHP said it might be a Ford Explorer or Expedition, or a Chevrolet Tahoe.

The child was reportedly struck by a light-colored SUV on Vanita Street near Porter Street about 9 p.m., the CHP said. The driver didn’t stop.

Medics took the child to the North County Fire Protection District station on Ivy Street, then the girl was flown by helicopter to the hospital.
