Authorities: Hit-and-Run Driver Claims Life of 14-Year-old Girl

A 14-year-old girl, struck by a hit-and-run driver on Saturday night, has died.

Julianne Hobbs, of Deland, was walking along Spring Garden Avenue near Jeanette Drive, in Volusia County, when she was struck by a hit-and-run driver.

Julianne was airlifted to Halifax Medical Center in critical condition, but died earlier today.

Another 14-year-old Rachael Russell who was walking with Julianne sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash.

Troopers said, they are still trying to determine what happened and whether or not the crash was intentional.

“We have no description of a vehicle other than the vehicle may have front end damage and may have windshield damage,” a statement from Florida Highway Patrol said.

Anyone with any information on this crime should contact FHP at 407-737-2213.
