"An 11-year-old boy remained in critical condition at the hospital Monday after a driver struck him on a Brooklyn street and fled the scene, police said. Officers found the boy when they responded to a 911 call about someone hit on Ocean Parkway near Avenue V in Gravesend around 5:50 p.m. Sunday, according to NYPD officials. Police determined the boy had been riding a seated electric scooter when he was struck by the driver of a black 2026 Acura Integra heading north on the parkway."
"A 25-year-old man who was walking nearby sustained minor injuries to his left leg when he was hit by debris from the collision, officials said. First responders took both victims to Maimonides Medical Center, where the boy was in critical condition and the man was in stable condition. Police said the driver kept going north, and officers later found the car abandoned about a half-mile from the crash site, on Ocean Parkway and Avenue R."
"The boy is among the more than 90 people who have been injured so far this year in traffic collisions while riding motorized two-wheelers in the 61st Precinct, which includes Kings Bay, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, and Manhattan Beach, according to police data. Five people were killed in crashes in the precinct in 2025 through Oct. 5, down from seven by the same point last year."
