Cocoa beach, FL : Child injured in Bahama Boulevard hit-and-run crash on Thursday December 7 2015.

A cocoa beach child is the hospital after being run over by a hit-and-run driver on New Year's Eve, and the boy’s mother is pleading for the driver to turn himself or herself in.
Thomas Gregory, 12, underwent surgery at Arnold Palmer Hospital on Thursday.
His mother, Amy Gregory, said he has two broken legs, a bruised lung and road rash on his head and back.
Doctors do not believe that he suffered head trauma and expect him to make a full recovery.
Amy Gregory said Thomas was playing outside his home on Bahama Boulevard with several other friends just before 11 p.m. on New Year’s Eve when he was struck by an SUV.
Cocoa Beach detectives followed a tip they received Thursday morning about an SUV with front-end damage on Fay Street. The SUV was towed to a secure impound facility to be processed for evidence related to the incident. The registered owner of the vehicle in question is cooperating with investigators, but it is not yet known who was driving at the time of the crash.
He was hit by a speeding car. Clearly speeding, then (it) sped up after hitting Thomas,” she said. “Thankfully he’ll recover and he’s alive, so we’re happy about that.”
Some of Gregory’s neighbors heard the crash.
I never heard no brakes, no squealing or nothing. Just a thump, and (they just) drove on,” said resident Michael Linthicum.
Amy Gregory is asking for the community’s help in finding the driver.
Maybe they didn’t know what they did and so maybe they shouldn’t be driving. I don’t know, you just don’t want it to happen to anybody else,” Gregory said.
The boy is in stable condition.
