okay, this bank robber is speeding along a busy high street in a stolen car, the police of chasing him, and they're closing in on him, as the man is going along, he spots a school up ahead, and it's home time for the kids. he has a dilemma, does he stop, and risk getting caught/jail, or does he keep going, and risk hitting an innocent kid. well, he keeps on going, and hits a little boy, sending him flying through the air.
this is the problem i have though, as the little boy, is the robber's younger self, and the "hit and run" left the little boy brain damaged, which made the robber choose to hit the kid instead of stopping/slowing down.
i can't decide what scientific phenomenon cause a sort of "portal" between the two times, as i want it to be based more in possible reality, than deep science fiction.

You probably want to explore wormholes. I have listed a book (link below) written by Micho Kaku (link below) that is a physicist and co founder of string field theory among many other accomplishments.

You don't need to over explain the whole time travel deal. It's technically impossible, but interesting to explore. The robber could be just out of prison for a previous crime, where he had volunteered for a scientific experiment, which threw him into this time paradox. Explaining all the details of time travel and all of its possible implications might get both lengthy and boring , but his story would be interesting.
He was in jail for committing a crime that he may not have if he had not suffered some brain damage as a child, and he was talked into the experiment because he was an easy target because of his brain damage. It can all tie together really well.

Help me understand this. Is this right? You want to know if the driver wants to hit the little boy because it's himself & he wants to commit suicide? Or..he wants to hit the little boy (himself) because he (himself) is brain damaged & wants to die....or wants to be taken off life support.?I assume this is the man's dream. Maybe the whole show could be about him hitting this little boy (himself) ..and causes him to be brain damaged. The driver of the car learns to care for this little boy and visits him daily. He finds out he doesn't have a family..is in foster care ( in real life the foster parents are the nurses) He grows to love this little boy and does everything to help him live. He begs him not to die. He never knew he could love anyone this much. The little boy who was unconscious wakes up and the man is thrilled. Then, the man realizes that it's really him waking up from a coma. He looks in the mirror. He sees himself as an adult and as the boy. He used to hate himself so much he wanted to kill himself. Now he loves himself and wants a good life for himself (because really he's just that little boy) (He has learned to love his "inner child")Also, he forgives the man who really hit him because now he has been in the man's place and sees how it feels to be responsible for hitting a child.
(Hope this isn't considered "narcissistic".)
edit...I guess the moral is that the 16 yr. old boy who hated himself has found empathy for himself and also for the one who almost killed him.
edit...the reason I changed him to a 16 yr. old boy was so that he could drive the car.(in his dream)

Just go to the future and watch your movie already finished and steal your own idea about time travel.
That was easy.

You are having difficulty finishing your idea because your idea involves the paradox which makes time travel unexplainable.
