CORAL GABLES (CBS4) ― A University of Miami student was rushed to hospital Saturday night after he was hit by a driver who kept going.

The accident happened around 7:20 p.m. in the 45 hundred block of Red Road just west of UM's campus in Coral Gables.

Coral Gables police spokesperson Kelly Denham said the student, 21-year old Jared Jones from Maryland, was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Denham said Jones' parents were notified and they have flown in to Miami to be with their son.  Jones, a junior, is an English major.

Police said they are looking for a silver four door Oldsmobile.  People who saw the accident were only able to provide a partial vehicle tag number - X64.  Police believe the driver may have been an elderly male based on witness statements.
