From staff reports

Spokane police are searching for the driver of a maroon Buick sedan that struck a child on North Post Street and fled the scene.

Witnesses called police at about 4 p.m. Monday and said the boy remained motionless in the street. Medics arrived and began treating the boy from what were deemed non-life threatening injuries. He was taken to the hospital, according to a police department news release.

Callers said the maroon Buick, likely a Regal model from the early 2000s, had tinted windows, black wheels, no front license plate and appeared to be registered in Washington.

The car will have some damage to the passenger side mirror and possibly the front passenger side bumper.

Anyone with information about this car, or anyone who witnessed the hit-and-run, are encouraged to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.
