A 13-year-old girl remained hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Glendale, and authorities are seeking public help to locate the hit-and-run driver.
The vehicle struck the pedestrian at about 3:15 p.m. Friday in the 800 block of East Garfield Avenue, between Mariposa and Adams streets, according to the Glendale Police Department.
