Boy, 5, may lose foot after being hit

PACOIMA - A 5-year-old boy was in stable condition late Saturday after being hit by a minivan while he was running toward an ice cream truck, police said.

The driver of the minivan, who is in his 40s, stopped to help the child during the 5:45 p.m. accident near the intersection of Kelowna Street and Haddon Avenue, but he drove away after paramedics arrived.

``We would like to talk to him and get his statement,'' said Valley Traffic Lt. Steven Allen. ``Otherwise we'll have to assume he's a hit-and- run driver.''

The boy was airlifted to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. He could potentially lose one of his feet due to his injuries, Allen said.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call the LAPD's Valley Traffic Division at (818) 756-8381.
