Teen Hit-and-Run Victim Finds Strength | Louisville News

An 18-year-old football player, Kingston Maestas, was critically injured in a hit-and-run on Dixie Highway after being struck by a fleeing driver while riding his motorized bike home from work. His teammates helped locate him, found him barely conscious, and he later underwent emergency surgery for a severed neck artery. His phone and bike vanished at the scene, and his family’s search was fueled by worry when he missed work and his sister’s birthday. Despite the trauma, Kingston remains resilient — and his father is urging forgiveness, not revenge. The family has launched a GoFundMe to cover medical bills and is pleading for the driver to step forward. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
