A Monroe Area High School student was killed in a hit-and-run accident Tuesday (Aug. 27) near the school.
A 15-year-old boy was struck by three vehicles around 6:40 a.m. at 1245 North Broad Street near Double Springs Church Road, according to Georgia State Patrol. His name has not been released due to family being notified first.
