INDIANAPOLIS — A child was hospitalized early Friday after a hit-and-run driver crashed into the side of an apartment building on the west side of Indianapolis, police said.
The crash occurred just after 3 a.m. when a motorist driving east in the 5300 block of West 30th Street left the roadway and struck a utility pole, which broke in half, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

The driver struck a vehicle after crashing into the building and then fled the scene before police arrived, IMPD said.
The crash remains under investigation.
