Hesse: boy caught by truck and critically injured

Fulda (dpa / lhe) - A seven-year-old child was hit by a truck in Fulda and critically injured. The truck driver caught the boy at an intersection on Wednesday morning and then drove on, the police said. Based on witness statements, officers were able to locate the driver shortly thereafter. The background to the accident was initially unknown. It is possible that the 21-year-old driver overlooked the boy and therefore left the scene of the accident without permission.
