Kristian Sales, a DeKalb County, Georgia high school student, suffered a brain injury and several broken bones after being hit by a car. The incident was a hit and run.
Sales was walking across the street to get on a bus when she was hit in the auto accident. Her parents were nearby and witnessed the accident. Unfortunately, the incident happened too quickly for them to do anything to prevent it.
After hitting Sales, the driver slowed down momentarily but never stopped. It was dark at the time of the accident, so Sales’ parents were unable to get a license plate or identify the vehicle responsible for the auto accident. Police are still looking for the hit and run suspect.
