CHP Seeking Suspect in Hit and Run of 7-Year-old in Martinez

by ECT

The California Highway Patrol is seeking the publics help in identifying the driver of a vehicle involved with a hit and run that caused major injuries to a 7-year-old child who was riding his scooter.

According to CHP:

Late this afternoon at approximately 4:09pm, Contra Costa CHP was advised of a HIT & RUN with major injuries to a 7yr old child that was riding his scooter. This occurred on Vine Avenue between Leslie Avenue & Merle Avenue in the city of Martinez, sometime between 3:48pm-3:56pm. This white van (1st photo in blk & wht) was captured on home surveillance traveling south on Vine Avenue, struck the boy on the scooter, and fled the scene.

The boy was airlifted by helicopter to Oakland Children’s Hospital and we’ve learned although he suffered major injuries, thankfully he is in stable condition.

The black & white photo is the actual suspect vehicle caught on surveillance and the second color photo is a very similar looking van also captured on surveillance video within the area.

We are seeking the public’s assistance with information regarding this incident.

If anyone witnessed this event, or the suspect vehicle in the area or vicinity during the time of the incident, please contact Contra Costa CHP at (925)646-4980 and leave your information for investigating Officer Garduno. Or if after hours, please DM (direct message) our FB page here with your contact info

If you keep enlarging the photo of the truck, you can make out that the driver is a man wearing a safety vest and the face is not that clear, but the police have the equipment to zero in on it. Maybe this vehicle was also captured by other cameras where he could be seen exiting the vehicle and delivering the packages .. someone’s RING system could have captured it.
