Waterloo teen cited after three hit-and-run crashes in 30 minutes

A Waterloo teen has been cited for reckless driving and other charges after being involved in three hit-and-run accidents in a span of 30 minutes.

No injuries were reported after 16-year-old Leana Hitchcock crashed through a fence at East High School and struck a Ford Explorer parked in the lot of school early Monday.

Waterloo police Captain John Beckman says the teen drove off and collided with a second vehicle in traffic. She continued on her way, striking a parked car.

Hitchcock was detained a short time later, when police discovered her driver's license had been revoked earlier for failure to safely operate a motor vehicle.

In addition to reckless driving, the teen was cited for driving while suspended and failure to leave information at an accident. She was released to her parents.
