What Happened on Kimberly Road

Police said a preliminary investigation found that the boy and the vehicle were traveling in the same direction when he was hit. Police said the driver kept going in the same direction after the collision.
His family said he was taken first to a Macon hospital, where he was sedated and put on a ventilator. According to his family, he was then transferred to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Arthur M. Blank Hospital, arriving around 10 a.m. Sunday. The family said his injuries include a bruised lung, facial fractures and bleeding in the frontal lobe of his brain, and that surgery was expected Sunday evening.
Where the Warner Robins Police Search Stands
