Two local children mowed down by a hit-and-run driver. One died, the other in hospital [View all]

First, please understand that I did not join DU in order to post a GoFundMe page. I joined at 5:20 am on January 15, and at 10:30 am the same morning, a hit-and-run driver killed 12-year-old Immaculee Goldade (and injured the friend she was with). Immaculee was the daughter of a family who are friends of my local relatives.

Immaculee's aunt has set up a GoFundMe for the family's funeral expenses: https://gofund.me/10a2f787

"Our deputies arrived on scene and found two 12-year-old girls that were," said Sgt. Darren Moss Jr.

The sadness was almost too much for Sgt. Moss, who walked away from the camera. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesman needed a moment to collect himself.

"So officers arrived on scene and found two juvenile females," said Sgt. Moss. "One of them was deceased. The other one was rushed to the hospital right away. We checked the area for a vehicle."

Investigators believe the vehicle, a large pickup truck, took off. They found this image on a neighbor’s surveillance video. They believe the truck was damaged from the collision.
