Memorial Hermann Hospital officials tell Eyewitness News that Eric Kelley, 10 years old, is listed as stable, after he was hit by a driver in the east side of the town, who then fled the scene. He and his friend were on their way home on their bicycles around 7pm Tuesday when police say an SUV ran a stop sign at Avenue E at Cesar Chavez and hit Kelley. Police said the vehicle stopped long enough for someone to get out, remove the bike from underneath the car, and leave the scene. In the meantime, Ruben Nuncio, the youngster’s nine-year-old best friend jumped into action, carried him home, and called 911.
