Lt. Todd Pletnick said the boy had just exited a bus infront the school and was just outside the school zone when he went between two parked cars and crossed Trenton Road. While crossing, Pletnick said the driver saw the boy and attempted to avoid him, but it was too late.
As of 3:40 p.m., police and emergency medics were out with the boy, who may have suffered a fracture.
Investigating officers determined the woman driving the SUV was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Witness statements indicated the woman was driving at the posted speed, police said.
