Clearly not seeing him, the vehicle continues directly into him, throwing him to the ground and narrowly missing him with the tires.
Thankfully the boy was not seriously injured and was able to stand up on his own and walk to the sidewalk.
Witnesses to the incident quickly approached the boy to help, while the person who struck the boy simply idled in their vehicle for a minute before driving off.
