A 3-year-old girl was critically injured in a hit and run Saturday night while crossing the street to the Cincinnati Zoo, authorities said.

Cincinnati police said a family crossing Vine Street in a crosswalk to the Festival of Lights just after 9 p.m. when a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse travelling southbound struck the 3-year-old and her mother.

The driver continued without checking on the condition of the victims, police said.

The girl, identified as Khloe Pitts, is at Children’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries and is listed in critical condition, police said. The mother, Joy White, was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and is in serious condition.
