TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies are looking for a dark blue, "smaller" SUV that hit a child who was crossing 15th Street N in Tampa Thursday evening.
After hitting the child, who was walking with two of her friends, the female driver of the SUV got out, looked at the victim, and then got back into her vehicle and drove off. The driver did not give the victim aid or call 911, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
