Boscawen police are seeking the driver of a dark-colored sedan who hit and injured an 8-year-old girl on Queen Street Tuesday night.

The driver was traveling toward Penacook above the speed limit when he or she hit the girl in the back outside 334 Queen St. at approximately 8:55 p.m. and immediately drove away southeast toward Penacook, according to Boscawen Police Department Corporal Elizabeth Murray.

The girl was transferred to Concord Hospital with “possible serious internal injuries,” Murray said. The injuries are not expected to be life-threatening but her current status is unknown, according to Murray.

In hitting the girl, the car lost its front passenger side mirror and sustained damage to the same area, according to debris police found at the accident scene.

Residents of the area with security camera footage or additional details are asked to contact Murray at 603-753-9124 or emurray@boscawennh.gov.
