Thursday, July 7, 2022An 11-year-old boy was hospitalized in extremely critical condition after he was hit by a truck that fled the scene Thursday night in the Parkside section of West Philadelphia, police said.
Around 7:45 p.m., the boy was crossing West Girard Avenue at 42nd Street when he was struck by a blue Ford F-150 with the license plate of ZTX6169 that was last seen heading west on Girard, police said. The force of the impact launched the boy about 50 feet west on Girard, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Witnesses said the driver, who was described as white male in his 60s wearing glasses, was swerving in and out of traffic in a reckless manner when the truck hit the boy, Small said.
