Decaturish reported back on Wednesday that a 12 year-old was hit by a car at South McDonough and College Ave Wednesday night and was in critical condition at an area hospital.  The site received a note from Lydia’s mom this morning that states that Lydia Cochran is still in critical condition and has suffered severe head trauma, but her outlook is good.

Neighbors and friend’s of Lydia are asking for donations to help the family cover her medical expenses.  Here’s the note posted on the GoFundMe page.
