NATIONAL CITY (CBS 8) - A teenage girl was injured after a hit-and-run in National City.
     
It happened around noon Saturday at the corner of Grove Street and Newell Avenue.
     
The California Highway Patrol says a 16-year-old girl got into an altercation with two women in a car and then the car took off as the teen was holding on.
     
A witness called police and the girl's friend tried chasing down the car.
