SUMMARY: In Clay County, authorities are searching for a hit-and-run driver who severely injured a horse, leading to it being put down. Sheriff Eddie Scott reported that a small red truck struck a horseback rider on Old Waverly Road last night. The rider was unharmed, but the driver fled the scene.
