PHOENIX — A pedestrian was seriously hurt in a hit-and-run collision in Phoenix early Thursday morning.

Police say a man was walking near 35th Avenue and Bell Road around 6 a.m. when he was struck by a car. The car then struck other vehicles and ran into a structure.

The driver of the vehicle reportedly fled the area on foot.

The pedestrian, a 71-year-old man, was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Police say surveillance video from the area captured footage of possible suspects.

Officials determined the suspects were three juvenile boys from Greenway High School and the vehicle was reportedly stolen.

The student driving the car was booked into Maricopa County Juvenile Courts Center and the other two student passengers were released to their parents.

Charges are being submitted against the two passengers, police say.
