Investigators released surveillance video Wednesday in a hit-and-run crash that injured a 7-year-old girl in Santa Ana.
The video shows a black sport utility vehicle strike the girl before the driver continues traveling on Birch Street. At least two people, including the victim's mother, can be seen coming to the girl's aid.
The crash occurred Tuesday afternoon near the victim's family's residence. The apartment manager contacted police to notify them of the surveillance video, which was captured on three cameras.
"Prior to the video, we had nothing," said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.
The girl, second-grader Evelyn Sanchez, was walking with her mother when she "darted out" into the street, said Bertagna. The two were moving into an apartment, he said.
The SUV likely sustained right front-end damage in the crash, according to Santa Ana police.
Police have made no arrests.
The girl is in serious, but stable, condition Thursday morning.
Contact Santa Ana police at 714-245-8665 with information about the case.
