Girl, 7, Struck In Sonoma County Hit-And-Run: CHP

SONOMA COUNTY, CA —The California Highway Patrol is seeking the driver responsible for hitting a 7-year-old girl with a car, knocking her to the ground.

The incident was reported shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, on Green Valley Road just north of Sullivan Road, Santa Rosa CHP Spokesperson David deRutte said.

CHP officers determined that a mother and her children were walking on the east shoulder of the rural roadway when a white car traveling northbound on Green Valley veered to the right and struck the child.

"The child fell to the ground and thankfully sustained only minor injuries," deRutte said. "The vehicle fled the scene northbound on Green Valley Road."

A passenger-side mirror was recovered from the scene.

"Follow-up investigation on the mirror determined it likely came off a 2010-2017 Pearl White Toyota Prius, Prius V, or Prius Plug-In," deRutte said. "This is an ongoing investigation and if you were in the area and believe you have information that could assist investigators, please contact CHP-Santa Rosa at 707-806-5600."
