Police today asked for the public’s help in finding who was responsible for a hit-and-run that seriously injured a teenage girl near San Francisco State University on Christmas Day.
The 15-year-old girl was struck at about 5 p.m. on Dec. 25 at the intersection of 19th Avenue and Winston Drive.
The teen was walking east on Winston when she was struck by a Mercedes-Benz traveling south on 19th Avenue, police said.

The vehicle and its driver remain outstanding. The driver was described as a white woman between 40 and 50 years old driving a newer silver or gray, four-door Mercedes that had paper license plates and was last seen fleeing toward Interstate Highway 280, police said.
