Police in Trenton are looking for a driver who ran down a teenage boy
riding his bicycle Saturday, and then allegedly drove off.

It happened on Hamilton-Trenton Road.

The teen, who is thought to be in serious condition at Miami Valley
Hospital, was found bleeding from his head as he lay on the side of the
road.

The accident happened on a stretch of highway at Hamilton-Trenton Road,
in front of Holy Name Catholic Church.

The 16-year-old victim is not being named because of his age.

He was flown from the scene to the hospital in Dayton.

The vehicle in question was last seen traveling eastbound on East State
Street.

It's not believed the driver could have not known he hit the boy,
therefore police are treating this as a hit-and-run.

"The road can be busy at times, not always, it goes in spurts," said
Trenton Police Officer Jamy Baker, "but it is a 35 mile an hour zone,
and there are no crosswalks or anything, so we are not exactly sure
what happened -- if the boy was crossing -- and we couldn't get any
information from him because although he was conscious, he was kind of
incoherent."

Eyewitnesses to the accident were able to get a good description of the
vehicle in question.

It's described as a dark, green Ford Escape with North Carolina license
plate number PXC-7601.

Anyone with information is asked to call Trenton Police at (513)
988-6341 or call Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040.

Not trying to pick any nits, but this kid could have been riding a
$5000.00 Trek Madone and gotten hit.
 
Hate to read anything like this, but I tend to agree with AMFlyer64, I
doubt the brand of bike he road was at fault.

Good thing the vehicle's license plate number was noticed, I'm sure the
owner will be tracked down.

WallyWorld probably sells 2500 Furies for every Madone that's made;
figure the odds from that alone. A better case could probably be made
for blaming video games, bad animation, or Canada.

I took the remark to be an attempt at humor. As such, I regard it as not at
all funny, AND in very bad taste.

It requires a deft touch, a suitable target and exquisite timing, of
which the OP had none of the above. IMO, "not funny" doesn't even
begin to describe it.

BTW, while the bike was a Roadmaster, I'm not sure it was a Mt Fury;
the photo doesn't have enough resolution to make that determination.

The OP is no Carl Fogel.

I actually passed over this at first because the subject wording made it
sound like a joke. Gallows humor doesn't always go over that well.
