Woman Pushing Baby in Stroller Hit By Car in Novato

NOVATO, CA- A woman and her one-year-old child have been hospitalized Tuesday afternoon, after they were hit by a vehicle while crossing a Novato street, police say.

The incident happened at around 3:40 p.m., when the unidentified woman was pushing her stroller— baby in tow— across Reichert Avenue at Grant, according to Novato Police Officer Alan Bates. She was in a marked crosswalk.

Bates says while the woman was still in the crosswalk, another woman driving a 2013 Honda Fit was turning onto Reichert Avenue, from Grant Avenue.

“The vehicle collided with a pedestrian pushing a stroller,” Bates said. “The driver... immediately stopped at the scene.”

The woman and baby were then rushed off to the hospital, he said.

“The baby is currently in good condition,” according to the officer.

Police say the driver is cooperating with authorities and that neither alcohol nor drugs appear to be a factor in the collision.
