GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–Troopers with the South Carolina Highway Patrol have made an arrest in a hit-and-run case that left a Goose Creek boy with a fractured leg along with a few scrapes and bruises.
According to WCSC-TV, 35-year-old Aaron Taste is charged with leaving the scene of an accident with injury.
She was arrested Thursday around 10 p.m. at her apartment in Goose Creek and booked into the Hill Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner late last night.
Ten-year-old Malachai Lewis was crossing Harbour Lake Drive to catch a school bus Wednesday morning when he was struck, according to his mother Patrice Wright.
The fourth grader told reporter Harve Jacobs that he looked both ways prior to crossing the street.
“I started to cross the street and a black car came out of nowhere and it hit me on my left leg and I spun and I rolled close to the ditch,” he says. “I thought she was going to run over me, I was scared.”
The boy’s mom stated that a witnesses told her that the female driver who hit her son stopped and asked if her son was okay.
When the witness told her he was not okay, the driver reportedly took off.
“I just cried because my baby was hit and she left him in the street,” Wright told the TV station. “She’s heartless. I think she’s heartless because she knew she hit a child and she kept on going.”
Taste is expected to face a judge in bond court later this evening.
