Middle school student hit by car, suffers minor injuries
|
A middle school student suffered minor injuries when he was hit by a car in Danville Tuesday afternoon, a police sergeant said.
Officers responded to a report of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian around 2:55 p.m. in the area of El Capitan and Brookside drives, near an entrance to Charlotte Wood Middle School, Danville police Sgt. Jason Haynes said.
Haynes said the victim, a male middle school student, suffered some "minor bumps" in the low-speed collision.
He was taken to the hospital by a parent as a precaution.
Police said the driver of the car stopped immediately afterward and cooperated with police.
The collision comes the day after a 14-year-old boy was hit and critically injured by a car while crossing the street in nearby Concord.— Bay City News Service Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition? See a sample and sign-up for Express.

Posted by , a resident of San Ramon, on Feb 15, 2013 at 9:45 am The Dirkerino is an advocate on lowering speed limits around schools. There is most definately a way to legally do this. See the Dirka's earlier posts. That said, where are the facts in this story? The link between two stories seems questionable with the lack of facts. Kids take unwise risks and make mistakes and drivers are often distracted and in too much of a hurry. Drive slowly in our neighborhoods, our community will be better for it. The X5's and the Volvo's won't get the sheeple home, to work significatly faster zipping around neighborhoods.[Portion removed due to disrespectful comment or offensive language]

Your name/handle can be considered offensive or mocking to several ethnic and religious groups. I've received multiple emails asking to remove you name and so I have.
Please do continue to post but refrain from using offensive language or I will continue to remove your name.
