The search continues for a driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that resulted in a Valley teenager being seriously injured. The collision occurred on March 22 when 17-year-old Brendan was struck by a red minivan while riding a miniature motorcycle with friends. According to 12 News, the accident happened around 7:20 p.m. near Seventh Street and Thunderbird Road in Phoenix. The perpetrator, described as a roughly 50-year-old woman with brown hair and shorts, fled the scene after being confronted by a witness. Silent Witness is now offering a reward for information that leads to her arrest.
Brendan sustained serious injuries from the impact, including broken legs, and is still in the process of recovering. As reported by ABC15, the vehicle thought to be involved is possibly a 2008-2012 Chrysler Pacifica. The details of the vehicle and description of the suspect were provided by witnesses as Phoenix police and Silent Witness urge anyone with information to come forward. The community's assistance is crucial in the investigation as Brendan continues his path to recovery.
