A Saturday afternoon walk took a near-deadly turn for a mother on August 3rd. The woman was struck by a white Ford F-150 as she headed north along San Francisco Street in Maxwell, according to reports. As she approached Vine Street, the pickup truck struck her, knocking her to the ground. The pickup then fled the scene, officers reported, leaving the woman injured on the side of the road.
The California Highway Patrol arrived at the scene and found the woman on the ground. Witnesses were nearby and one told officers they knew where the pickup truck was because they had followed it when they saw it flee the scene. Officers called for an ambulance and paramedics transported the woman to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for her injuries. While officers gathered evidence and spoke to witnesses at the scene, other officers went to the location provided by the witness and found the white Ford pickup truck. It had been abandoned by the driver, but officers were given a description by witnesses at the scene.
Officers are continuing the search for the driver and believe they will find him quickly, since they found the pickup truck. They are working to determine what exactly caused the driver to strike the woman as she walked along San Francisco Road.
