In Pensacola, a woman was arrested after a hit-and-run accident. The incident happened when the driver struck and seriously injured a 15-year-old riding his bicycle at the time, and then fled the scene.

Yesterday, police officers arrested Sabrina Lynell Slater. Joseph Dewise had been riding his bike in the bike lane when Slater suddenly struck him from behind and knocked him 50 feet into a ditch. Slater did not stop to check on the boy.

Dewise suffered serious injuries and was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital.

Slater received multiple charges including failure to maintain lane, leaving the scene of an accident, and more.
