YESTERDAY FIREGEEZER REPORTED (HERE) ON THE Des Moine, Iowa, ambulance that was struck broadside by a hit-and-run driver. The car ran through a stop sign and struck the rear side of the ambulance that was responding on an emergency call, and drove it into a snowbank, disabling it.
The car then drove away without stopping, but unknowingly the driver left behind the front license plate that had been knocked off by the collision.
Today the Des Moines Register is reporting that the driver has been located and charged by the police. They continue:
Grace Elizabeth Miller, a 16-year-old North High School student, has been charged with an instruction permit violation, failure to satisfy accident requirements (hit-and-run) and failure to obey a stop sign.
Police said Miller has only a learner’s permit and did not have an adult in her car. She was on her way to an event at Lincoln High School and had three other passengers in the car.
There were no injuries reported from the accident and a fire engine and another ambulance were dispatched to continue the original call. The police describe the girl as “very remorseful.” Read the full story HERE.
