The man, Alexander Roda, was on the scooter in the area of Southwest 8th Street and 57th Avenue when he was struck around 12:30 a.m.

Paramedics responded and rushed Roda to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he was in stable condition later Wednesday.

Family members said Roda was struck by a white truck, which fled the scene. They said the driver was later caught.

Wife Patricia Hernandez, who spoke with NBC 6 in Spanish, said she and the couple's 3-year-old son were riding in a car behind him at the time of the crash. She said the driver left her husband for dead in the road "like an animal."
