Hancock County authorities asked the public for help to find a hit-and-run driver that injured a teenage boy in a Saturday night collision.
Around 10 p.m. Saturday, Hancock County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of State Road 109 in Wilkinson for a juvenile struck by a car. A passerby observed a child on the ground next to a bicycle and called 911. It is not known how long the child was laying on the ground before the witness located him.
The 13-year-old male had his eyes open but was unable to speak. He was transported by air ambulance to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis in critical condition.
Investigators from the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office are searching for clues to locate the person and vehicle who struck the child. This includes using Flock cameras in the area, speaking to neighbors, and searching for more video. The suspect vehicle may have damage to the front, right and passenger side.
The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with any information to contact detectives at 317-477-1199. If anyone living on State Road 109 between State Road 234 and the Dollar General in Wilkinson has security camera footage from approximately 9:45 p.m. and 10:10 p.m. Saturday night, please contact detectives. Also, if anyone was driving in that area Saturday night and saw anything that may help, please call HCSO.
The child’s parents were notified and were with him at the hospital.
Members of the Hancock County Fatal Accident Crash Team (FACT), Shirley Police Department, New Palestine Police Department, and Fortville Police Department investigated the scene.
