COOKE COUNTY, Tex. -- Authorities in Cooke County are looking for a man they say hit an 18-year-old girl and then sped off around 9 p.m. Wednesday on a bridge crossing Lake Ray Roberts along FM 3002.

Authorities say Christina Sailor of Gainesville was crossing the bridge with a man when she was hit. The driver of the truck was later stopped by several witnesses, brought back to the scene, and then sped off once again.

The driver is described as a white man in his late 40’s to early 50’s, with a white mustache and a grey crew cut hairstyle. He was driving a white pickup truck, with black ranch hand front bumper and grill guard, roll bar lights and orange clearance lamps on top.

The victim was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and is listed in critical condition.

If you have any information, you are asked to call the Texas Highway Patrol at 903-813-3430.
