Josue Valerio, of Congers, tells News 12 that he was hit by a car on July 29 at around 8:45 p.m. while riding his bike on the sidewalk on Kings Highway near Miller Road.

He says the driver did not stay at the scene.

"I was riding and I just remember waking up on the floor,” said Valerio, who spoke virtually as he recovers at his family’s home in Queens.

He spent five days in the hospital for internal bleeding, saying he was sent to Level 2 trauma with life-threatening injuries.

Now, he wants the public’s help to find the one who hurt him.

"If you know anything, please reach out to me, or the news, or the police just to have my piece of mind because you left me dying on the street," he says.

Nearby home surveillance cameras did not catch the incident.

Anyone with information can contact Clarkstown police at 845-639-5800
