Suspect arrested in connection with Massapequa Park hit-and-run of 11-year-old boy
Nassau police say an arrest has been made in the case of an 11-year-old boy who was hit while on a scooter in Massapequa Park.
Police say Max Selesky was hit by a driver while riding his scooter in Massapequa Park Sunday. His parents say he was over at a friend's house for a play date Sunday afternoon on Eastgate Road riding his scooter when a female driver of a red pickup truck hit him and dragged him more than 50 feet.
According to Selesky's parents, he suffered a concussion and will need plastic surgery after being cut up from head to toe.
Kerri Deangelo, a neighbor, says she saw Max lying on the ground and the pickup truck, which drove away and made a left onto Northgate Road.
She says she waited by Max's side for the ambulance to come, and that he was brave and didn't cry. He asked Deangelo if he was going to survive.
