On Saturday, First Baptist Church of Hastings said in a Facebook post that Maslin Mooney suffered multiple injuries in the crash, including two broken legs, a broken wrist, dental damage, and a brain bleed that will require him to remain in the hospital for over a month while his recovery process could last between four to six months. “The family is facing significant financial strain due to travel, treatments, and hospital stays,” the post read. “In this difficult time, we’ve set up a collection to help support them.” On Friday morning, around 7 a.m., St. Johns County deputies said a citizen found a teenage boy who had been hit by a vehicle at the intersection of Palatka Boulevard and Carpenter Avenue.

The teen, later identified as Maslin Mooney, was airlifted to a trauma center in critical condition, according to the St. Johns County Fire and Rescue Department. According to the St. Johns County School District, Mooney attends Gamble Rodgers Middle School in St. Augustine. Deputies said he was walking to his bus stop —the pickup was scheduled for 6:08 a.m.— but he never made it. The suspect vehicle is still outstanding, according to SJSO. Deputies are asking for the community’s help in finding the driver. The vehicle will have front-end damage. “I know you are probably nervous and anxious and you don’t know what to do. Please hear me on this, do the right thing,” Lieutenant George Harrigan said. “Do not put this family through trauma wondering what happened to their loved one.” If any resident in the area has any exterior video footage facing Palatka Blvd near Delgado Ave. and Carpenter Ave. or has any information, please send it to “If you live in this area, in Flagler Estates, anytime this morning, probably from 5:30 a.m. to the time the child was found at 6:45 if you have any type of electronic device that captured video on your vehicle in front of your residence, please review those devices and that software and get it to us immediately,” Harrigan said. News4JAX spoke with people in the Flagler Estates area who said no one should ever be treated like the student was. “I don’t see anybody doing the speed limit,” she said. On Wednesday, a Fruit Cove Middle School student was riding a bicycle near Racetrack Road when she was hit and critically injured.
