          Officers responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle
in the 3500 block of Harbison Drive at 6:21 p.m. Tuesday.
          When officers and paramedics arrived, they found a 16-year-old
Vacaville boy who had been struck by a vehicle that subsequently fled.
          The victim was unconscious when police arrived and was transported
