Child Injured in Pittsburg Hit-And-Run

Another hit-and-run accident has a family searching for answers. The accident occurred late last week near the Moultrie Square Publix on U.S. 1 in St. Augustine, Florida. The victim, Dustin Padley, died after being run down by a car while running an errand for his mother. He was standing on the sidewalk when the car hit him. “It was dark. I know that he was walking and had black or dark clothes on and a hood over his head,” said Padley’s mother, Teresa Deloach. The family is even more upset because the car didn’t stop after hitting Padley. Padley pleads,“If you have any kind of courage in you at all, if you’re any kind of man or woman . . . or whoever you are, the best thing you can do is step forward and do the right thing. That’s all I can say - - do the right thing.” Police investigators have determined that the car that hit Padley was most likely an older model sedan, such as a Lincoln. The vehicle most likely will have front-end and windshield damage. The Florida Highway Patrol requests that anyone who has information about this accident call 904-301-3700 ext. 108. The family is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest.
