PLANO – Parents and families in Plano are concerned after a shocking video posted on social media shows a car hitting a young girl who was crossing the street and then driving away. The incident occurred at the intersection of Westridge Drive and Wilson Drive on Tuesday morning around 8 a.m.
In the home surveillance video, a young girl is seen crossing the street when a car hits her. The driver stops momentarily but then drives off.
“It was horrific and she was just screaming,” said Sherry Barker, who lives down the street from where the incident happened. “The little girl was almost across the street, she was just about to step onto the curb when she got hit.”
Barker, who has two grandchildren who often walk through the neighborhood on their way to and from school, expressed her shock and concern.
“It’s really just a horrible feeling of what happened. Not only did she pull off, back up to pull off, but she sped off,” Barker said, referring to the driver.
