A driver hit a woman and a young girl Monday afternoon, then abandoned the car and fled, police said.

The collision happened at about 1:15 p.m. in front of 335 High St. A 19-year-old woman and seven-year-old girl who were not in the roadway were struck, Murphy said. Both suffered moderate, but not life-threatening injuries and were taken to area hospitals, he said.
