Milford Boy Riding Bike Crashes Into Car: PD

MILFORD, MA — On Monday, a young boy riding his bike around the Milford Regional Medical Center parking lot crashed into an oncoming car. Police said both the boy and the driver were not injured but there was damage to the car and to the boy's bike.

The boy was riding his bike in the hospital's parking lot 'C' when a car turned into the parking lot, according to the report. The boy was riding straight, towards where the car had turned, and crashed into the car's front driver side tire. The boy was taken to the hospital to be checked but was not injured, according to the report.

The car's hubcap was damaged as well as a dent in the wheelwell. The front tire of the boy's bike was also damaged.

This is the second car accident involving a child in town in two weeks. On Thursday, a child ran out into the road on Water Street and was hit by an oncoming car. The driver was headed toward Main Street and had no time to react when he hit the boy, the report said.

The boy's head hit the front right end of the car before he fell to the ground — he suffered scratches to his face and was taken to UMass Worcester, according to the report.
