METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities are searching for a car after a young girl was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Methuen Thursday night.
Police said an 11-year-old girl, Jaydee Soto, was struck around 9:45 p.m. on Broadway near Kirk Street.
The girl was crossing the street with her father when she was struck, according to police. The impact caused the girl to fly into another car before she landed on the ground. The driver then fled the scene.
Police said CPR was performed on the girl. She was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, where she was pronounced dead. Her father was not injured.
“I was stepping out of the store, crossing. I see this car flying,” the girl’s father said.
Police are now looking at surveillance video from nearby a business to help identify the car. They are also asking for any witnesses to contact them.
