TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Police are searching for the driver of a silver SUV that reportedly hit a 1-year-old child in a street and drove away near South 101st East Avenue and East 26th Street on Saturday.

Police said a little before 3 p.m., officers were called to the scene of the hit-and-run.

The child's father told officers that he had just pulled in to the driveway when his child was excited to see him come home. The child then ran into the street where he was hit by the SUV.
