Diana Andrea Gil, 18, a student at Port St. Lucie High School, critically injured, airlifted to hospital, after being struck by a hit and run driver on SW Lucero Drive in Port St. Lucie.

Port St. Lucie police say they found the car suspected of striking a student around 6:45 a.m. Monday. Investigators say they were called to the 500 block of SW Lucero Drive where they found a person, later identified as Diana Andrea Gil, 18, lying on the side of the road. They say a car struck her and propelled her 30 feet into the swale and then left on the north side of the street. A nurse came to the girl's aid. "Her face was down in the grass and her hair was in her face so I moved her hair and I did her pulse and she had a pulse and she was breathing. She was snoring. She wasn't responding and I'm saying 'can you hear me?' and she didn't say anything." Gil, who attends Port St. Lucie High, was airlifted to St. Mary's Medical Center with significant trauma to her body, according to a police report. She was last listed in critical condition. Police were looking for a 2007-2010 gray Nissan Sentra that has right front-end damage and damage to the mirror. They later found a car matching the description. They say they are interviewing a person of interest. Lucero Drive does not have sidewalks. Neighbors say every morning children walk to the bus stop and many drivers go faster than the posted 30 mile per our speed limit. UPDATE: Diana Gil, the victim in this accident, died of her injuries on 04/14/2014.
