5-Year-Old Boy Struck by Car in Natick, Sent to Hospital With Non-Life Threatening Injuries

Natick, MA—The Natick Police Department is investigating an incident today in which a motor vehicle struck a child who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, said Chief James Hicks.

At approximately 11:50 a.m., two vehicles were traveling east on Pond Street, approaching Maple Street.
The first stopped at the crosswalk at Maple Street to allow for pedestrians to walk across the street. At the same time, a 38-year-old woman from Natick driving a Kia Rondo, was traveling behind the first car.

To avoid hitting the first vehicle, the woman in the Kia began to abruptly apply her brakes, said police. She then veered right, driving off the road and jumping the curb, where she collided with a 5-year old boy at a low speed.

The child was transported via Natick ambulance to Boston Children's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No charges have currently been filed against the driver. The incident remains under investigation by the Natick Police Department.
