STERLING TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A woman has been hospitalized with serious injuries after she was hit by a driver in Brown County, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

OSHP said the crash happened on November 5 at around 8:21 p.m. on SR-286 near the intersection of Upper Five Mile West Road.

Troopers said a 30-year-old woman from Hillsboro was found on the side of SR-286; OSHP said investigators determined she'd been hit by a driver who left the scene of the crash.
