Santa Rosa, CA – 7-Year-Old Injured in Hit-and-Run Accident on Campoy Street

Santa Rosa, CA (February 18, 2019) On the evening of February 16^th, at approximately 5:14 pm, a hit-and-run incident took place at the intersection of Campoy Street and Louis Krohn Drive. According to the reports, a vehicle struck a 7-year-old girl and proceeded to drive off without checking to see if she was okay.

When the paramedics arrived, they found the child suffering from minor injuries and transported her to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Fortunately, a surveillance video from a nearby camera caught footage of the driver responsible. The police are currently searching for a light-skinned man with a beard who is driving a dark-colored car.

We are sorry to hear that a child was harmed in this reckless accident, and we are hopeful for her full recovery.

Hit-and-Run Accidents in California

There are two types of hit-and-run offenses in California: misdemeanors and felonies. A driver will be charged with a misdemeanor if he or she crashes into another’s property and proceeds to drive off without taking responsibility. A driver will be charged with a felony if they hit and injure a person without stopping to tend to the injured victim. Most of the time, drivers fail to stop at the scene of an accident because they fear these charges, especially if they know they were driving negligently.
