Hit-and-Run on Waddell and Reems | April 12, 2021

Two students from Highland Prep Surprise were involved in a wreck that totaled their Cherokee Sport's front grill and left fender. The perpetrator is still yet to be found but was identified driving a black, 4-door Ford with a damaged front. If you see this vehicle, contact the police immediately.

Even after wrecking their vehicle, the driver of the Black Ford continued to leave the scene, most likely in hopes of not having to cover insurance for the opposing side. The remains of the incident are being cleaned up at the corner of The Marley Park Marketplace as of this evening.

This occurred soon after the bell rang at Highland Prep, almost 30 minutes after to be precise. The two students were heading back home when suddenly a driver on the left rammed into the side of their vehicle, leaving the two dazed and confused. Luckily, they were were not gravely injured, but the mental toll of such an accident knows no bounds.

Stay safe out there, and remember: wear a seatbelt; it could save your life.
