Medics took the child to an area hospital for additional treatment and examination.
A preliminary investigation found that “the child exited his parents’ parked car and ran across Kingsbury Drive,” the spokesperson said.
The driver hit the child in the street and then stopped.
The spokesperson said no evidence suggests the driver was speeding or intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Duncan told News Center 7 he believes the driver was speeding when the crash happened.
This crash remains under investigation by the Huber Heights Police Division.
Duncan told News Center 7 that police told him there was not much they could do.
“The cops said they don’t have a laser that pinpoints his speed, so nothing can be done,” Duncan said.
“Huber Heights Police would like to remind the motoring public that nice weather promotes more children being out and about (especially in residential areas) and added caution should be used on the roads.
Also, parents and those charged with the care of very young children should consider carrying or holding the hands of little ones when they are in or around streets, parking lots and driveways."

The child’s current condition was not immediately available.
