Ann Arbor Hit And Run Accident

There was a story in the news yesterday about a Pittsfield Township hit and run accident. The accident took place on Monday, June 7th, in the evening hours. According to police, a 13-year-old boy was riding on a scooter in the 3400 block of Hillside Drive when a car struck him. The young boy was transported to the U of M hospital. He suffers injuries including a broken leg.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the boy has a fast recovery without any permanent damages or injuries.
