5-year-old girl injured in hit-and-run outside her Fort Worth home
Police are searching for the driver of an SUV that hit a 5-year-old girl in front of her home in northeast Fort Worth last week.
The hit-and-run happened about 6 p.m. Friday in the 9000 block of Riverfalls Drive, according to a police news release. The neighborhood is off Precinct Line Road between Trinity Boulevard and Randol Mill Road.
The suspect’s SUV is believed to be a 2009 Toyota 4-runner, police said.
The girl, Caroline Muckleroy, was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center, where she was treated for a broken leg, a ruptured spleen and a slight injury, her father told NBC 5. Caroline was released from the hospital Sunday.
Surveillance video captured the incident, and police released a picture of the SUV on Monday.
