Fresno police: Child struck in hit-and-run, Aman Kumar Held

FRESNO, CA, (April 29, 2026) – A 4-year-old boy was seriously injured Tuesday night in a hit-and-run crash in Fresno, according to police.

The incident occurred at approximately 8 p.m. near Peach and Nevada avenues. Authorities said the child had been playing in the backyard of a nearby residence when he left the yard and entered the roadway.

Preliminary findings indicate that a vehicle moved into the bike lane to pass stopped traffic at the same time, striking the child.

The driver, identified as 31-year-old Aman Kumar, fled the scene following the collision but was later taken into custody Wednesday morning.

Emergency responders transported the child to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

The case remains under active investigation by Fresno police.


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Drivers can help prevent hit-and-run incidents by staying alert and yielding to pedestrians, even when they are outside marked crosswalks.

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, approximately one in four pedestrian injuries in 2023 involved hit-and-run crashes. Pedestrians accounted for more than 70% of those killed, with nearly 80% of fatalities occurring during nighttime hours nationwide.

Candice Bond, a seasoned hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that in cases like this, a prompt and independent investigation by an experienced attorney is essential to safeguard the victim’s rights.

“Access to the right resources is crucial when investigating a hit-and-run case and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“An attorney can also work to ensure that a driver who flees the scene is held responsible for their reckless conduct.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Depending on the findings of the investigation, the injured victim may be eligible to file a personal injury claim. Bond noted that the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting family life, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is important for victims to retain legal counsel when pursuing a personal injury case, as an attorney can negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” said Stefano Formica, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“Insurance providers may attempt to push for quick settlements that do not reflect the true value of the case. An attorney will advocate strongly to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation,” he added.
