A young Texas child, wandering alone on a 6-lane highway late Sunday night, was struck and killed by a passing motorist.
Dallas Police reported that a white, mid-sized SUV was involved in hitting a young girl, approximately 6 years old, as per KDFW news. The driver initially pulled into a nearby parking lot after the accident, appearing to circle back towards the injured child. Shockingly, the driver then quickly fled the scene.
Presumably that information came from surveillance cameras, which police said they were checking. They made no mention of witnesses.
Police said they believe the little girl wandered out of a nearby apartment. The collision happened at about 10:30 p.m. on Belt Line Road.
The girl was taken to Children’s Hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Police have not said if they have identified the child.
