Police are looking for an Uber Eats driver they say is responsible for a hit-and-run crash involving a 9-year-old boy last night in Williamsburg. FOX 5 NY's Michelle Ross has the details.

NEW YORK - A 9-year-old boy is said to be in stable condition after he was struck by a food delivery driver in a hit-and-run on Wednesday evening.

Uber confirmed to Fox 5 NY that the driver was an Uber Eats delivery driver taking food from a shop near Harrison Avenue in Williamsburg.

The Uber Eats delivery driver did not stay on the scene and fled immediately after the accident.
