Two girls killed in Kentucky hit-and-run accident
July 26, 2008 5:08 AM

LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Police in Louisville, Kentucky, have arrested a man in connection with a hit-and-run accident that killed two children yesterday.



Louisville Police Sergeant Mike Minniear says the driver ran a red light while fleeing a traffic stop and hit the four and five-year-old girls and a woman. The woman has been hospitalized with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

It happened during the evening rush hour near the University of Louisville campus. Police say an officer had pulled the car over about a-half mile from where the girls were hit. And when the officer approached, the car drove off at what police say was "a very high rate of speed."

The officer gave chase, then stopped to help when he saw the girls. The fleeing car was found abandoned about three blocks away.
