Her family says she was taking a break from work when she was hit.

"She had taken a break from her job at Pizza Hut and was going a very short distance to the 7-11 to get some snacks," Hollie Albertson, Jennifer Albertan mother-in-law, said. "She was just going a short distance. She was first hit by a pickup truck and that knocked her off the scooter. Then a car ran over her. The 17-year-old is such a momma’s boy. He’s going to be so lost without her."

Police say both drivers remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. No charges have been filed at this time.

Albertson’s family is raising money for funeral expenses.

Within the last 12 months, there have been seven crashes reported to police at the intersection of First Colonial and Republic and Laurel.
