He was later airlifted to the Royal Hobart Hospital, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
Police say the child “ran onto the roadway” on Franmaree Road in Newnham before being struck.
Investigators are urging anyone who saw the incident or has dashcam or CCTV footage of the vehicle, a grey Suzuki, to come forward.
