'Justice is all we want,' mother says after son hospitalized in hit-and-run crash near UCF

A 13-year-old boy was hospitalized after being struck by a hit-and-run driver near the University of Central Florida Saturday, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper said.
An FHP spokesperson said the incident occurred about 7:45 p.m. near the intersection of Alafaya Trail and Science Drive.
Troopers said Cody Loechner was riding a bicycle when he was struck by a driver who slowed down and later fled the scene.
Investigators are looking for a white, four-door Toyota with front-end and windshield damage.
"I just want the driver to come forward to face what he or she has done to this innocent 13-year-old baby,” Tami Loechner said. “It's my baby, and I have to stand here, in this hospital now for endless hours."
