Miller said witnesses told officers the girl was struck after she ran into traffic on Bellmead Drive.
The girl, who was not identified, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that were described as non-life-threatening.
Miller said she is a student at La Vega High School and she was in stable condition Wednesday afternoon.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested at the scene, Miller said, because he did not have a valid driver's license and did not have required proof of insurance.
