MONROE, Ga. -- The Georgia State Patrol has confirmed that one of two drivers believed responsible for a deadly hit-n-run crash in Walton County has come forward and is cooperating with their investigation.
The State Patrol says the unidentified driver claims he initially thought he ran over an animal but came forward as soon as he learned 16-year-old Jacob Little was killed in the crash.
Investigators are still looking for the first car -- a silver Honda Civic or Accord -- to strike the teen.
Troopers said they were called out to the 1200 block of North Broad Street near Double Springs Church Road early Tuesday.
The victim was 16-year-old Jacob Little, a student who police said was hit by three vehicles. Troopers said Little was riding his skateboard to school when it went out from under him. When he went into the street to retrieve it, they said he was first struck by a silver Honda, followed by a Ford Ranger, and finally by a dark colored Chevrolet Tahoe or Suburban.
The Ranger, police said, stopped at the scene, but they are looking for a silver Honda Civic or Accord and a dark colored Chevy Tahoe or Suburban. The Honda may have damage on its front end.
Jacob's friend, 14-year-old Dennis Harrison was there. He watched as the three cars hit his friend. With his parents' permission, he described how two of the drivers kept going.
"I was yelling at the cars to stop; Call 911," he said. "But nobody stopped."

"They hit my baby brother," said Jacob's older brother Jeremy Little. "They didn't stop, and I want to know why."
Jeremy has a message for hit-and-run drivers.
"Y'all have to live with that, as we have to live with y'all killing him," he said.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to contact the Walton County Sheriff's Office or the Georgia State Patrol in Monroe. You can leave your messages of condolences below:
