HOUSTON — A 3-year-old boy was injured Friday night after being hit by a truck in east Houston.
Police responded to the scene around 8:20 p.m. Friday at Wayside Drive and Tidwell. They said the toddler was wandering alone when he was hit by a Ford F-150.
"The driver stop initially, saw the child and then kept going," HPD Sgt. Rose said. "We have witnesses that helped the child, and then took him off the road."
According to police, the driver left the scene but later returned. She was taken into custody, and Rose said it's unclear what charges she will face.
The toddler was taken to the trauma center at Texas Children's Hospital with injuries to his leg and hip, including a broken femur and pelvic fractures. At last report, the child was in stable condition.
Officers are searching for his parents. In the meantime, they're asking the public for any information that will help in identifying the child.
"I don't know why, or what he was doing out there, but the prime crux of this case is that he's OK. He's injured, but he's going to be all right."
