A 12-year-old girl was killed, a 15-year-old boy was hurt and a 26-year-old man was arrested for an apparent hit-and-run crash.
The collision happened Friday night, Nov. 5, on State Road 19 near County Road 50 North in Fulton County.

So many questions. Were the kids pedestrians? If there was another vehicle involved what was it? Who was driving? Were the kids using seat-belts or were they unrestrained as a report of someone being ejected from a vehicle usually means? What was the perp driving?
