A teenager and her infant were taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon following a hit-and-run crash near Clark College.
Police were dispatched at 2:20 p.m. to 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. A 17-year-old girl was carrying her 18-month-old child when she was struck by a car turning onto Fort Vancouver Way from McLoughlin Boulevard, Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
The driver, an unlicensed 17-year-old, drove off but was later arrested, Kapp said. The teen was taken to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Facility on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and other misdemeanor charges.
The mother sustained a leg fracture, Kapp said. Her child was taken to Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland for observation.
