'Good samaritan' hit by vehicle, in critical condition

A Shafter woman who tried to intervene in an altercation in Bakersfield was hit by a vehicle and is in critical condition at a local hospital. Shelli Fuller was driving on Knudsen Drive at approximately 4 a.m. on Thursday morning when she observed an altercation taking place. She reportedly exited her vehicle and tried to intervene in the altercation. Fuller was then struck by a vehicle and critically injured. The driver of the vehicle initially fled, but later contacted police to report her involvement.

Investigators said that multiple people were involved in the incident. Upon arrival, officers found Fuller in the roadway, suffering from severe injuries. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information in this case should contact the Bakersfield Police Department at 661-327-7111.

Fuller is a mother of two daughters, Ashlyn and Hailey, and is currently in the intensive care unit. Her prognosis is uncertain at this time. Ashlyn said, “We still are unaware of any of the specific details or even who committed this act, but the woman who did this is still able to live her normal life while ours is falling apart.”

Ashyln Fuller has created a GoFundMe page for her mother, at gofundme.com, Aid Shelli Fuller.
