SA: Boy charged over hit-and-run

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with a string of offences relating
to a hit-and-run crash in Adelaide last month.

Police allege the boy was driving a stolen car at suburban Prospect on January the
21st when he hit a cyclist at the corner of Churchill and Regency roads.

He allegedly failed to stop at the scene and the car was later found dumped at nearby Enfield.

The cyclist was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with serious head and limb injuries.

The boy has been charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle, causing injury, failing
to stop at an accident and failing to render assistance.

He's been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Youth Court at a later date.
