Here are the top three stories today in Savannah:

1. The Groves High Beta Club has prepared support bags for the homeless. In the bags, students packed toiletries and non-perishable food items. Social Apostolate will distribute the bags later this month. (WSAV-TV)
2. On Thursday, a pedestrian was struck in a hit-and-run crash on Colleen Drive. The pedestrian is injured, but no information has been released on the extent of those injuries. Police are still investigating the accident. (WSAV-TV)
3. The I-95 Northbound at Port Wentworth shut down after a crash on Thursday. The closure and delays were caused by a multi-car crash. Multiple individuals had to be removed from the cars and some of them needed to be flown to the hospital. Their conditions are unknown. (WTOC)
