Police are investigating the possible links between reports of a break and enter at a home in Blayney on Friday morning and the accident involving the teenager, who was hit by a car on Rankin Street, Bathurst, also on Friday morning.
NSW Police Inspector Gerard Powell said investigations remain in their infancy, but police are looking at a possible connection that the car linked to the break and enter is also linked to Friday morning's crash.
"We currently have one person in custody, a 17-year-old male, and a 13-year-old who has been taken to Orange Hospital in a stable condition," he said.
He said connections between the two remain under investigation, and the 17-year-old is "assisting police with their investigations".
On Friday morning, police remained at the scene where the 13-year-old boy was hit by the car in Rankin Street, just metres up from the Durham Street intersection.
Paramedics responded to a call from help following reports the teen had been hit by a car just after 5.30am.
The teen was taken to Orange Hospital with arm and shoulder injuries as a result of the incident, with three crews from NSW Ambulance originally attending the call-out.
As investigations remain underway, the area has been cordoned off with police tape.
