A 16-year-old Palm Desert boy who was hit by a car Monday night has been transferred to UCLA Medical Center, recovering from serious injuries.
KESQ Television identified the boy as Grant Virgin, son of fitness guru J.J. Virgin. In a post on Facebook Tuesday night, Grant's mother asked for positive thoughts and energy for her son who's in a trauma unit.
The Palm Desert High student was struck while walking on Deep Canyon Drive near Fred Waring Drive at about 7:35 Monday evening. According to police reports, the driver of the white sedan that hit Virgin continued northbound on Deep Canyon after the incident.
The driver is described as a hispanic female, about 30 years old, approximately 5-6 and 150 pounds.
Palm Desert Police ask anyone that witnessed the accident to call (760) 826-1600.
I pray that Grant will recover fully, and the the driver is apprehended and prosecuted.
I hope she is found and prosecuted to the fullest.
You are all in my prayers, your neighor, bonnie
AND the driver what a cold heartless person !! I am sure that she is an illegal citizen driving with no license as many do... Shouldn't everyone have to get a license? Why do some think they don't need it?
