NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – A boy and a girl were rushed to the hospital after they were struck while riding an electric bicycle in Northwest Miami-Dade by a driver who fled the scene, authorities said..<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies responded to the scene of the hit-and-run in the area of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 117th Street, just west of Interstate 95, at around 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, the car\u2019s driver was traveling northbound on Seventh Avenue when they made a left turn and hit the victims, who were riding a shared e-bike on 117th Street.<\/p>\n
A witness told 7News that the motorist kept going, stopped at the other side of the block and looked at the juveniles before driving off.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe subject then fled the scene in an unknown direction,\u201d said MDSO spokesperson Daniel Castillo.<\/p>\n
First responders found the juveniles, one male and one female, lying on the pavement unresponsive.<\/p>\n
Paramedics with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived moments later, loaded both patients onto stretchers and transported them to Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Back at the scene, 7News cameras showed debris scattered across the road and the mangled e-bike, as well as first responders as they carried out their investigation.<\/p>\n
Cameras also captured a distraught woman being held by a man at the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can only imagine how the parents feel in this situation,\u201d said Castillo.<\/p>\n
A possible vehicle description was heard over police scanners.<\/p>\n
\u201cOlder model two-door hatchback, green color, last seen heading westbound in 117th [Street] toward Eighth Avenue. Damage on the right hand side, passenger,\u201d said a first responder.<\/p>\n
As the search for the driver continues, Castillo asked anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the community, please, if you\u2019re a business owner in this area and you happen to have cameras, please review your cameras,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you were here by chance to witness what occurred, please give us a call.\u201d<\/p>\n
