A scooter rider is recovering after being hit by a truck that never stopped. Now, Richmond County deputies are asking for help finding the driver.

🚨 Why It Matters: Leaving the scene of an accident isn’t just reckless—it’s a felony if there are injuries. A driver made the decision to flee instead of helping someone they hit, and that puts the entire community at risk.

🚔 What We Know:

  • The crash happened at Virginia Avenue and Chester Avenue.
  • Witnesses say a red Chevy truck hit the scooter and kept going.
  • The rider was taken to the hospital with minor injuries but could have been far worse.

🔍 The Investigation:

  • Deputies are checking surveillance cameras in the area.
  • Auto body shops may be key—if the truck was damaged, someone could notice repairs being made.
  • Police say hit-and-run cases rely heavily on witnesses.

📞 What You Can Do: If you saw something or have information, call the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office at 706-821-1020. Even a small tip—like spotting a red truck with fresh damage—could help catch the driver.
