Police officers in Georgia are searching for a hit-and-run suspect who struck a pedestrian.

Friday morning, a police officer's dashcam captured video of a black SUV slamming into Carol Floyd, who was crossing a street in the City of Forest Park.

As the police officer tended to the hit-and-run victim, the driver fled from the scene in her SUV.

Carol Floyd says: "I mean, you hit me and just .... I'm sorry ... and you just take off." Floyd adds: "She can't be that sorry. If it was an accident, accidents happen, you know you stick around. You know, I'm not a dog."

Floyd was treated for her injuries.

Let me guess...... the driver was either on her cell or texting. I saw a girl today on Mineral Point Rd. turning onto Co "M" smoking, texting, shifting and turning the corner..... all on THE RED LIGHT. Probably a similar situation.

The lady mentioned that she isn't a dog, stick around and check on her after she was hit... Even if she was a dog, I would still try to get help. That is cruel and I don't know how the driver could justify leaving the scene.

That is amazing. Hope she's not seriously hurt, and I sure hope the driver of that vehicle is found. How is it possible to have missed her in the crosswalk? It's not like she stepped out into traffic - she was in the middle of the street when she was hit!

What the heck?! The driver of that vehicle certainly cannot say she did not see that pedestrian! I hope the courts make an example of her.
