LEEDS, Maine — A 13-year-old girl shoveling snow on Church Hill Road on Monday was hit by a car and the driver took off, police said.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the hit-and-run accident that occurred around 4:15 p.m. The girl was shoveling snow away from her family’s mailbox when she was struck by the car. The vehicle struck her and the mailbox and drove away.
She suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
The vehicle is described as a blue Smart Car and was last seen driving west on Church Hill Road toward Turner. The vehicle should have some noticeable passenger-side damage, the department said.
Anyone with any information about the crash is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Department at 753-2500. The crash is being investigated by Deputy Sheriff Travis Lovering.
For crissakes…….how many “smart cars” are regeistered in this
state? This thing should have been solved in about twenty minutes.
So she was hit just yesterday afternoon and you are ticked off because the police have not “solved” the case already? You are either a cop hater or you live in a TV reality.
LMAO…..Neither one. If you only knew.
One vote for TV reality. Life aint COPS. The case doesnt open at 830 and get solved by 9.
I don’t know, six blue ones maybe.
My point exactly!
Smart car …. dumb driver.
Despicable.
Smart cars apparently do not get marketed to smart drivers.

So glad she will be okay. Now she has a good excuse not to shovel again this winter!
And hopefully it won’t be too long until the Dumb Car and its driver are found. Totally agree, Rocky4, shouldn’t be too hard!
