    WPIX TV reported that police told the family that the pickup truck's license plate could not be seen on a surveillance video of the incident. Police released the video and asked the public to help find him.

     

    Parmar's brand new jeep was hit by a red pickup truck that was attempting to make a turn, the station quoted police as saying.
