The suspect failed to stop at a stop sign and hit the boy before fleeing north from the site of the crash.

The boy was left behind with non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to a local hospital to receive care after.

Officials are asking anyone with information about the incident to call *FHP (*347) or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
