Police are searching for one of the hit-and-run drivers who struck a 14-year-old girl who darted into traffic in a busy Orange County intersection. The crash happened Monday in Santa Ana. Surveillance video released Tuesday shows the teen trying to dodge cars at 17th and Bristol streets. First, she is struck by a red pick-up truck, and the driver speeds away. She is then struck again by a black car. Though the video shows her flying into the air and appearing to land on her upper shoulders, the girl suffered leg injuries and has been released from the hospital. She is seen on surveillance trying to get up, but failing to put any weight on her legs. After a few moments, the driver of the black car got out and picked up the teen’s backpack and apparently checked on her condition. But, police said, that driver did not stay at the scene. The man behind the wheel of the red truck was arrested Monday. Police said Adan Santis Camacho, 32, told them he panicked after the crash and left because he was driving without a license.
