UPDATE:
The driver in this case called and turned himself in. He advised he in fact did stop the vehicle and got out but child got up and ran away (presumably to go home.) Once the child ran off the driver got back in his vehicle and continued to work. The driver was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. The cause of the crash was ruled pedestrian error as the driver was driving in a location not required to stop.
