13 Year Old Hit By Car

Prichard police do not plan to charge a driver who hit a 13 year old girl then drove off.

Brianna Parmer was walking home from her bus stop on Glow Ann Drive when she was hit by a car Wednesday afternoon. Brianna says she was about to cross the street when she saw the car and tried to jump back. Her uncle, who witnessed the crash, says she was thrown into the air.

"I flipped and twisted, and I fell," said Brianna, who landed on her book bag, cushioning her fall. "I didn't know what to think. I was so scared. I was screaming," she said.

The driver of the car, a 16 year old Blount High School student, did not stop at the scene, but Prichard police do not plan to charge him with leaving the accident. LaToya Veal, a spokesperson for police, says the teen driver was scared to stop and drove straight to the police department.

Brianna was taken to the hospital and treated for bumps and bruises. She was not seriously hurt, and plans to return to Semmes Middle School next week.

The case will be turned over to District Attorney John Tyson to be reviewed, according to Veal.
