A man and a boy were injured in a hit-and-run crash Friday night when a car pulled out in front of a motorcycle, police said.
An orange Kawasaki Z125 motorcycle was traveling east on Independence Avenue at about 7 p.m. when a gray Kia Soul turned left from White Avenue and into the motorcycle’s path.
The motorcycle hit the side of the Kia, and the driver of the Kia fled the scene without stopping, police said. Officers later found the Kia abandoned.
