Vehicle vs. Bike Hit & Run: Community Assistance Needed

Yesterday (4/24), around 3:50pm it was reported that an 8-year-old child riding a bicycle was struck by a newer black Mercedes sedan driven by an older female adult.

After the collision, the driver stopped briefly and acknowledged the child before driving away westbound on Vineyard Road, leaving the child on the road. A passerby assisted the child and called 9-1-1. Fortunately, the child only sustained minor injuries.
