The driver tried to flee on foot but was caught by residents, Garden City police spokesperson Erinn Reyes said Saturday morning.

'The child was pronounced dead at the scene.' The driver of the Chrysler, 32-year-old Jacob Eichhorn, 'ran from the scene, but residents were able to catch him and keep him there until first responders arrived,' she said. Eichhorn was driving southbound on Bancroft Street when he struck a trailer parked on the side of the street, causing the Chrysler to go airborne before coming to a rest in the yard, she said.
