16-year-old injured in Jerusalem hit and run dies

A 16-year-old high school student who was critically injured earlier today in a hit and run accident in Jerusalem has died of his injures,

Hagi Goldstein was a student at Or Hatorah in Ramot, and was a youth leader in a local scouts troop.

The driver of the car who hit Goldstein along the Golda Meir Boulevard in northern Jerusalem fled the scene of the accident. He has since turned himself in to police and will be brought before a judge on Friday for a remand hearing.

Goldstein will be buried later this evening in his hometown of Mishor Adumim.
