A Connecticut schoolboy was killed after a Tesla Cybertruck plowed into his family's car, with the driver fleeing the scene and leaving tragedy behind.

Malachi James, 14, died on Christmas Day when the car, traveling in the opposite direction, crashed into his family's Toyota Camry as they headed south on Cornwall Street in Hartford.

The collision occurred around 9.18pm, and Malachi was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

The driver abandoned the scene on foot and has not been charged in connection with the teen's death so far.

Investigators have spoken to the Cybertruck's owner, though they do not believe that individual was driving.

However, the vehicle had not been reported stolen, according to the Hartford Courant.

'If [Malachi] chose to be a senator, he was going to be the senator that shook every hand,' Spenser McGhee, the teen's uncle, told the outlet. 'If he was a musician, he was going to be a musician that signed an autograph for every fan that stood in front of him.'

McGhee added: 'And we now don't have the opportunity to know what he would have become. That was taken from us.'

Hartford police still have not confirmed who was driving the Tesla car at the time of the crash.

Law enforcement did not offer any clues as to why the driver had left the brutal collision after it occurred.

'We'll ask him when we find him and we will find him,' Lieutenant Aaron Boisvert said last week.

He added that police were 'making strides in identifying' the driver, and that authorities had 'some very good starting points.'

It was not yet known whether drunk driving contributed to the crash, although Boisvert said speed appeared to have played a role.

The Hartford Police Department told the Daily Mail the investigation was still ongoing, as of Thursday morning. 

The teen boy's relatives are still searching for justice and answers in wake of the holiday tragedy.

'For the person that did this, I hope they don't think they can run and hide,' McGhee said.

No one has been charged in connection to the teen boy's death so far, as the driver of the Tesla vehicle fled the scene on foot following the fatal accident
