The accident happened around 2 a.m. at 12^th Street and La Salle Avenue when a vehicle driven by 22-year-old Gabriela Estrada drove through a red light and struck O’Heeron as she was crossing the street. Estrada then fled the scene.

O’Heeron was transported to a nearby hospital. She is expected to survive with multiple injuries, including head trauma and broken bones.
