GSP Investigating Alleged Hit and Run That Injured Woman

One person is recovering from injuries after being struck alongside a Stephens County roadway this week.

According to the Toccoa post of the Georgia State Patrol, a pedestrian was sitting on the edge of Bruce Road in Stephens County Wednesday night when she was struck by a vehicle.

The GSP says that 23-year-old Dalena L. Baker of Lavonia was on the eastbound lane of Bruce Road sitting facing east, wearing a black shirt and blue jean shorts.

A witness tells the GSP that a vehicle traveling eastbound struck Baker and continued eastbound.

That witness describes the vehicle as a dark colored vehicle with round tail lights.

Troopers say that there was no debris or any type of marks on the roadway indicating a collision.

Baker was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

The GSP says the incident remains under investigation.
