A 13-year-old boy died after being hit by a speeding Thar in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj, police said on Friday.

A PCR call was received on Wednesday regarding an accident near the Indian Oil petrol pump in Vasant Kunj. A police team reached the spot and found a boy lying unconscious on the road along with a damaged bicycle, a senior police officer said.

He was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead, the officer said, adding that the deceased was identified as Master M, a resident of Vasant Kunj.

Officials said the driver fled along with the SUV.
