Houston, TX — There was an accident in a Houston-area residential neighborhood that left a child – a 5-year old boy – with injuries after he was hit by a car. Police said that this happened on Monday of this week, April 6, and the driver of the car was identified as a 68-year old woman.
According to the news reports, the boy was either playing near the street or was in the street that day when he was hit by the woman’s car. This was along Silent Wood Lane, they said.
The child was rushed to a hospital and it appears that the car may have had to be jacked up before the boy could be rescued. He was last said to be in critical condition on Tuesday, but his current condition is unknown.
The driver who struck him, the 68-year old woman, has not been named. She may face charges later, but that’s not been determined yet.
