What is going with this drivers now and day they need to stop acting like there the only ones out there…..god bless
It used to be shootings everyday, now its accidents and people being hit by cars. Please use caution when driving. These things can be prevented. Prayers for the child.
UPDATE: Police say it was a man in his 20′s who was struck. They’re looking for a gold Buick with Colorado license plates.
Smfh
So a man can be confused with a child? Was it a midget??
Wtf why don’t they stop they actually think there gonna get away with it
WGGBSpringfield, out of respect this comes the following comment. Just was wondering why you didn’t have the articles title changed? It says child which usually means 12 or under; I dont think a 21 year old fits the bill. Agreed? Regardless, this incident/accident is crazy! I say its attempted vehicular homicide not hit and run but whatever! Someones got to know who did this; help out and call the police so we can get another maniac off the streets!
probably another person with out a license and from Colorado hmmm u might not find that person leave it to the cops i dont wanna get ran over for snicthing ….21 yr old will be ok ….no more shootings on another note is good
Guy in the car got ripped off for $60.00 in a drug deal, wasnt too happy about it.
He’s lucky the guy didn’t have an AR-15
