The Warren Police Department is appealing to the public for assistance in locating a driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that left a 12-year-old boy with serious injuries; the boy was riding a minibike when struck by an SUV on Monday afternoon, as reported by CBS News Detroit. The accident occurred around 5 p.m. near 13 Mile Road and Moceri Circle, just west of Schoenherr Road, with the SUV last observed heading west on 13 Mile Road, and the Warren Fire Department responded to the scene, transporting the injured boy to a local hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition on Tuesday.
Investigators are on the lookout for a newer model Chevrolet Equinox, potentially black or gray, detailed by ClickOnDetroit, and they are examining security footage from the area while interviewing several witnesses in hopes of piecing together the circumstances of the collision. The Warren Police Department's Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is working diligently to ascertain the facts and any details that may lead to the apprehension of the individual responsible for the child's injuries. Details from the investigation show the SUV, after hitting the child, fled west on 13 Mile, which has sparked a manhunt for the driver.
In an effort to gather more information, officials have requested the help of the community, asking anyone who might possess video or additional insights to come forward, and they have shared contact details, encouraging people to reach out to Warren Police Det. M. Accivatti directly at 586-574-4859 or through email at [email protected], as emphasized by FOX 2 Detroit.
