Hit and run wreck injures local teen

A hit and run wreck on North Drive Tuesday morning injured a local teen.

The report from Hopkinsville Police Officer Ruben Pacheco says 17-year old Ariana Kendrick of Hopkinsville was stopped in traffic just before 8am when she was rear-ended by a vehicle described as an older full-sized tan-colored Chrysler.

The driver of the Chrysler—described on the report as a poorly dressed white female who was small in stature and who had red hair—initially got out to check on Ms. Kendrick and asked if they could pull into the parking lot of IGA.

Ms. Kendrick pulled into the parking lot, but the driver of the Chrysler drove away. An ambulance took Ms. Kendrick to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for intense back pain.
