Incredibly, the rider was uninjured in the alleged hit and run. The Mitsubishi driver has not yet been found. 

The crash was also the third hit and run in the city in one week.

A 15-year-old was allegedly run over while riding his scooter at Bull Creek on Monday.

Two days later, 14-year-old Robert Corps was allegedly hit by a young woman, leaving him with a broken keg and lacerated kidney.
