A truck driver who fatally struck an seven-year-old boy at a road house in regional Western Australia has not been charged with any offences.

The boy was hit by the truck out the front of a Mingenew road house on Tuesday evening as his four-year-old brother watched on.

The driver didn't stop at the scene and police said on Wednesday he may not have realised what had happened.
