The victim died at home, only a day after being released from the hospital.

ST. LOUIS, MO – A 16-year-old boy died last Sunday, January 12, just a few days following a hit-and-run pedestrian collision in northwest St. Louis, according to KSDK.

Authorities said the incident occurred in the 4000 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, between the Vandventer and The Great Ville neighborhoods, just blocks from the teen’s home.

Preliminary details collected by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department show that shortly before midnight, the teen was hit by a vehicle whose driver failed to remain at the scene.

First responders arrived to find the teen pedestrian “suffering from injuries and disoriented.” The victim was transported to an area hospital for several broken ribs and an injury to the head. While he was listed in stable condition and discharged from the hospital on January 11 following treatment.

According to officials, the boy was found deceased by his parents at home, only a day later.

Although his death is believed to be connected to the collision, an investigation by the Medical Examiner’s Office was underway. At this time, no information regarding the driver has been announced.
