AZUSA -- A 14-year-old Azusa boy suffered major injuries Thursday when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver while riding his skateboard, authorities said.
The incident occurred about 5:30 p.m. in the 18400 block of Fondale Street in an unincorporated county area near Azusa, California Highway Patrol Officer N. Fulgencio said in a written statement.
The boy was riding his skateboard in the street when he was struck by a black late 1990's Ford F-150 pickup truck, Fulgencio said.
The boy suffered major injuries, including a broken ankle, he said. The driver and a passenger drove away during the commotion that followed the crash.
The truck was last seen heading east on Fondale Street, Fulgencio added.
The driver was described as a Latino man in his late-40s, of medium build, with short dark hair and a mustache, Fulgencio said. The passenger was a Latino woman, also in her late-40s, of heavy build, with black hair in a pony tail.
