A child was hit by a car near Bonanza Road and Nellis Boulevard Monday afternoon.

The age of the child has not yet been released, but the child was taken to the University Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries.

Police shut down Nellis Boulevard to conduct an investigation of the accident, and the road was reopened a few hours later.

At this time, there is no word on whether or not the child was in a crosswalk or not, or if drugs or alcohol were involved. The driver of the vehicle is still on the loose, and investigators are looking for any tips that will lead to the arrest of the driver.
