7-Year-Old Struck By Hit And Run Driver

WEST DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Police in Dallas are looking for the driver of a white or cream-colored pick-up truck (shown below) who ran over 7-year-old Lorenzo Cantu. It happened Saturday afternoon -- the boy's birthday -- in the 3100 block of Conroe Street.

Surveillance video shows the little boy running into the street and the truck hitting him. The driver didn't even slow down, let alone stop to help Cantu. The video also shows Cantu lying in the street barely moving until help arrived. He suffered a concussion. The boy's grandfather, Oscar Andrade, said he may be released from hospital Sunday evening.

If arrested, the hit and run driver faces charges of Failure to Stop and Render Aide and Abandoning a Child.
