Detroit police are investigating a hit-and-run that left a 14-year-old boy critically injured Saturday night.

Police said the teen was riding a mini-bike when he was struck by a vehicle shortly before 10 p.m. near Seven Mile and Archdale Street.

The driver fled before officers arrived.

First aid was given to the teen, who was then taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to authorities.
