Police said the teen was riding southbound on Western Avenue when the driver struck them while turning westbound on Montrose. The driver kept going west, then turned north into an alley behind Artesian Avenue, according to an alert issued Thursday evening.
The offender was driving a dark-colored, four-door Lexus SUV with a sunroof and mirror-tinted windows, police said. Investigators said the rear passenger-side door’s window was shattered by the collision and the door itself may have some damage.
