Euless Police Department Searching For SUV Involved In Hit-And-Run That Left 13-Year-Old Seriously Injured
EULESS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - The Euless Police Department is asking for help finding a Chevrolet SUV possibly connected to the February 19 hit-and-run that left a 13-year-old seriously injured.
According to Euless Police, the teen, identified only as 'Alyssa' on social media and a GoFundMe page, is in critical condition with a broken pelvis, clavicle, fractured ear, damage to her spleen, bleeding in the head, and ligament damage to her neck preventing neurons from her brain to properly give commands to her body when spoken to. She's unable to respond to commands, or open her eyes, squeeze hands or move her fingers. She potentially has a brain injury, too, according to a fmaily friend.
Police said that the first vehicle to strike her was a Chevrolet pickup. The second vehicle that hit her was identified as a gray, tan, or pewter SUV driven by a Hispanic woman or man. Both drivers stopped momentarily before leaving the scene.
The driver of the pickup contacted Euless Police and is cooperating with the investigation. They are still trying to identify the second vehicle involved and who was inside of it.
On Feb. 25, Police released an image of the suspect's SUV:
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Euless Detectives at 817-685-1535 or call Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-8477 or by submitting a tip online.
