Driver hits kid on bike in Redondo Beach, doesn't stop to help
A mother asked witnesses Thursday to come forward to help police find a hit-and-run driver who ran over her 13-year-old son in Redondo Beach.
Kelly Lane said her son, Trevor, was hit at 7:45 a.m. at Prospect Avenue and Diamond Street as he rode his Mongoose bike to Parras Middle School.
"He flew to the ground and they ran over his left leg," Lane said. "His whole knee is scraped up."
Trevor said the car "came from the right and hit me and trashed my bike."
"Luckily I was wearing a helmet," he said.
The silver sedan continued on. Nobody else stopped to help him. He walked his mangled bike to school and reported what happened to him to school officials.
His mother took him to the doctor.
Anyone with information should contact Redondo Beach police at 310-379-2477, ext. 2721.
