3-Year-Old Girl Injured in Hit-and-Run Scooter Crash in Williamsbridge, according to ABC 7 News.

A 3-year-old girl, Mylah Rojas, suffered a fractured skull in a hit-and-run incident Friday afternoon in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx.

The crash occurred just after 1 p.m. on Holland Avenue near Burke Avenue. According to police, Mylah was walking on the sidewalk when a man riding a scooter struck her.

She was rushed to Jacobi Hospital for treatment. Her mother, Mariel Rojas, described the terrifying moment.

"He fell, then walked toward us," she said. "But when he saw her face bleeding, he fled. She stepped down the step—I was right behind her—and he just came out of nowhere and dragged her."

Mylah is currently experiencing brain bleeding, swollen eyes, and fluctuates in and out of consciousness, her mother reported.

Police have released surveillance images of the suspected driver, who was wearing an orange hoodie, dark-colored pants, and riding a blue scooter. Additional footage shows the same man walking in the area after removing the hoodie.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the police.
