An 8-year-old New Haven girl is in the pediatric emergency department at Yale-New Haven Hospital after being struck in a hit-and-run this morning. Police said the girl was struck by a white van at Ferry and Pine streets just before 7:30 a.m. Neighbors ran to held and the driver fled the scene. The girl was running into a daycare when she was struck, according to a man who said he knows the victim. Hector Rivera said the girl had run across the street to ask a bus driver if that was her bus. When the bus driver said no, the girl started running back to the daycare and was struck.
