INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — This story has been updated to include the boy’s name and information from his family.

A boy riding a bicycle was critically injured in a hit-and-run Thursday night in a residential area on the city’s far east side, police say.

Police did not immediately share publicly other information about the boy, but his family identified him to News 8’s Kyla Russell as Wilberto Rivera, 14.

Medics and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were called just before 10 p.m. Thursday to a pedestrian struck in a hit-and-run — with a pediatric cardiac arrest — to the 1100 block of North Cumberland Road.

That’s about three-quarters of a mile east of the intersection of East 10th Street and North German Church Road.

IMPD says a car hit Rivera while he was riding a bicycle without any lights. He was riding with a group of other boys when the car hit him and threw him 50 feet. The car then fled the scene.

Rivera was described as being in “very critical condition” Thursday night. His family told News 8 Friday morning that he was “fighting for his life.”

Detectives canvassed the area for security camera footage of the incident. Police asked anyone with information to call the IMPD Crash Investigations team at 317-327-6549.
