Police are searching for the driver who hit a teen in North Fairmount Saturday afternoon.

Cincinnati police said Javon Harris, 16, was dribbling a basketball in the 1600 block of Carll Street about 1 p.m. when he was hit.

Investigators said Harris lost control of his basketball and it bounced across the street. He was hit as he went after the ball.

Harris was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
