On Sunday morning in Marlborough, Massachusetts, a single moment shattered a family's world and left a 12-year-old boy critically injured. Dominic Matos, the young victim, was simply enjoying a bike ride along Route 20 before his life was changed forever by an SUV, possibly a Toyota Highlander, that hit him and fled the scene, according to NBC Boston.
Now, little Dominic remains in the hospital, with his mother having to identify him as the victim for the press.
Local authorities have reviewed security footage and released surveillance photos of what they believe to be the suspect's vehicle – either gray or light green SUV – shortly before noon Sunday, another Boston Globe article suggests. The driver continued traveling westbound before turning into the back entrance of Ghiloni Park.
Marlborough Police have now turned to the public for assistance in identifying the vehicle and driver, hoping that someone, somewhere, has any shred of information that might lead them to the perpetrator. They urge anyone with information to take a stand and do what is right, calling Detective Richardson at (508) 485-1212 ext. 36946, as stated in the WWLP article.
