CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 10-year-old girl in Clarksville is recovering she was hit by a vehicle while riding a bike.

The driver left her lying in the street on Sikorsky Lane and Raven Road. Her father, Christopher Hernandez, rushed her to the hospital.

"Just seeing her cry and to see her scruffed up, I didn't know if they ran her leg over or how severe it was," said Hernandez.
