Video: Hit-And-Run Driver Strikes 6-Year-Old Boy in Borough Park

BOROUGH PARK, BROOKLYN — A six-year-old boy was the victim of a hit-and-run in Borough Park on Wednesday, police said.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the boy was crossing the intersection of Fort Hamilton Parkway and 41st Street when he was hit by a black Toyota Sienna minivan that had run a red light, according to the NYPD. The driver then fled the scene.

The boy was taken to Maimonides Medical Center with a dislocated hip, but is expected to survive, police said.

No arrests had been made as of Friday, and an investigation into the crash was ongoing.

Shocking surveillance video obtained by DNAinfo showed the crash. In the recording, the boy can be seen turning around in a crosswalk to pick up something he dropped. At that point, the minivan strikes him, and then continues driving.

Patch recently published the account of another unresolved area hit-and-run provided by the victim's father.

That crash, which took place in Windsor Terrace on Aug. 8, involved a 26-year-old woman riding her bike on Prospect Avenue between the Seely Street bridge and Vanderbilt Street, the dad said.

The woman was left with a concussion, as well as lacerations and fractures to her face, he said.

Anyone with information on either incident can confidentially report it using the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers website or by anonymously calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
