Child Struck By Car On Washington Street

Written by Boston Biker on Sep 04

This happened yesterday, not many details yet, I hope this child is ok. Apparently a truck his a young boy. No word yet on if he/she is ok, and if he/she was wearing a helmet, from what I heard it was pretty bad. I have chosen to keep these images small for those of you who don’t wish to see them. Click for larger.

Coming home on washington street I saw a bunch of cop cars blocking one of the lanes
As I got around the corner I saw police tape everywhere a sad busted back end of a kids bike
and a lot of blood
I really hope the kid is alright.
I know nothing about what happened expect I heard the (maybe) driver who works for the devine signs company complain about how he heard was a thump and how he didnt see the kid. They didn’t seem to give him any attitude for hitting a kid… if it was him who was driving.
I see more yelling coming from traffic cops then what I didnt hear coming from these cops.
But just in case it could have been a hit and run and they were just interviewing witnesses

And as a photographer I capture the moments while I can.. bad or good.(via)

Warning graphic image below the jump, and be careful out there people, wear a helmet, keep your eyes on the road and pay attention. For you parents looking for more information about how to keep your kids safe I would suggest you contact MassBike as they have some good children focused education materials. For you drivers out there, remember getting where you need to go just a little faster is not worth it if you kill someone. Pay attention and watch out for bikers, they are everywhere.
