Two teenage girls were riding bikes on Shiloh Road on Thursday evening when a Jeep sport utility vehicle with white lettering on the back appeared to lose control as it approached them. The Jeep struck one of the girls, and she fell off her bike and injured her ankle. The driver of the Jeep – a woman – slowed down, backed up, and appeared to check on the girl’s condition before driving away. The girl’s bicycle was flattened.
