A 4-year-old boy was struck in a hit-and-run on the North Side Tuesday night, according to Chicago police.
The boy had been crossing the street with a family member in the 5200 block of North Pulaski Road, just north of West Foster Avenue and Gompers Park, about 7:30 p.m., police said.
The boy was taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital where he had been listed in good condition, officials said.
Although the driver of the vehicle initially drove off after striking the child, authorities said the driver later went to the police station in the 17th District.
The driver was issued two citations, police spokeswoman Kellie Bartoli said. One was for failing to exercise due care with a pedestrian in the roadway and the other was for failing to stop and render aid or provide their information, she said.
