ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester police have released video of an SUV connected with a hit-and-run earlier this month that critically injured a three-year-old boy.

The SUV is highlighted in the video released by police. Joshua Navarro was hit by an SUV on Mount Read Boulevard around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10th. Days later, investigators told News10NBC the boy was in critical but stable condition at Strong Hospital.

Investigators say the vehicle involved may have damage to the front driver’s side.

News10NBC spoke with the boy’s grandmother the day after the hit-and-run.

She told us Joshua was able to get out of his house while her son was throwing out the trash and the door wasn’t completely shut.

Police say Navarro walked into the road and was hit by a vehicle that didn’t stop.

Anyone with information is asked to call 311 or 911.
