Deltona teen injured in hit and run

DELTONA, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Deputies say someone hit a 15-year old who was crossing at a crosswalk on Ft. Smith Boulevard at Rookery Avenue on Thursday afternoon.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood showed FOX 35 News surveillance video from a fire station down the street. Deputies said the white car in the video is the one that hit the teenager and kept on going.

Sheriff Chitwood said, "Doesn't stop, doesn't render aid. Just the first thing that comes to their mind is lets get away."

Investigators say the car is a 1980s model Cutlass or Monte Carlo.

"I'm hoping the person behind the wheel of that car has a little empathy in their soul and says, 'You know, I screwed up, and I wanna turn myself in to the police,'" Sheriff Chitwood said.

There is a $5,000 reward for a tip that leads to an arrest.
