AND a woman from Florida was arrested after she allegedly hit a teenage girl crossing the road with a truck, covered her license plate and sped away.
Sarah Wright, 37, was arrested Thursday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident with injury and driving with a suspended license.
The crash happened shortly before 4 p.m. at the intersection of Gage Avenue and Noah Street in Deltona, Florida, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

The teenager fell to the ground, suffering serious lacerations to the back of his head, as well as an injury to his arm, but remained composed and conscious after the incident.
The witness said she was checking her mailbox nearby when she heard the crash. She told investigators the suspect, later identified as Wright, got out of his truck after the crash and checked on the boy before returning to his vehicle and covering the license plate with paper and tape.
But the witness still managed to see the first sign of her mark. The neighborhood Ring’s camera also captured the truck fleeing the scene.
