When a female in the Accord got out, police say the juvenile driver of the Kia intentionally backed up and hit her before fleeing the scene. The Kia was tracked down a short time later.
The victim was taken to UK hospital with life-threatening injuries to her and her leg.
A witness, Liz Ording, was in the vehicle behind the two cars. She watched the scene in horror.
“If those people are crazy enough to smash someone’s leg into pieces and hit them and run they’re crazy and they can fire off a gun and it could’ve hit me. I was right behind them,” says Ording.
The owner of the Kia says what happened on the scene likely stemmed from a situation that began over Facebook. Robbery/Homicide is investigating.
