ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police are searching for the driver who struck and killed a 7-year-old boy as he was crossing the street with his family. Police identified the boy killed Sunday night as Pronoy Bhattacharya.  Authorities say the hit-and-run occurred Sunday around 8:30 p.m. at Central Ave and Tingley Drive. A family of four had just left the River of Lights, a series of holiday light displays at ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden. According to traffic camera footage, a car ran a red light. The family was in the crosswalk and the traffic signal gave them the right of way. The boy’s father was also injured.  Police say the off-highway vehicle fled the scene.
