13-year-old hospitalized with ‘serious injuries’ after hit-and-run, Dallas police say

Authorities are asking the public’s help to identify the motorist and suspect vehicle accused of being involved in a hit-and-run crash Monday that left a teen in the hospital, Dallas police said.

Shortly after 3:30 p.m. Monday, officers were dispatched to the 5100 block of Clover Haven Street, located in the Buckner Terrace neighborhood, where someone reported a hit-and-run crash, according to police.

Investigators believe someone was driving out of an alleyway in the area when they hit a 13-year-old boy who was in a go-kart-style vehicle, police said in a Tuesday news release. Police also released an image of the suspect vehicle.

“The suspect then backed down the alley and left the scene,” police said.

Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact the Dallas Police Department by calling 214-671-0020 or by emailing Eric.Knight@Dallaspolice.gov. They should reference case No. 193664-2023.
