A 3-year-old boy has died after being struck by an alleged hit-and-run driver in New York City on Wednesday evening just feet away from his home, according to police.

The victim, Quintas Chen of Flushing, was hit by the driver of a white sedan just before 6:40 p.m. in Flushing, Queens, on 41st Avenue near College Point Boulevard, police told Fox News Digital.

Police said the incident unfolded when a white 2014 Infinity Q50 sedan was parked on the side of the street.

He lived on the next block on Sanford Avenue, police told Fox News Digital.
