Child struck by vehicle at Fort Worth intersection while walking home from school
At around 4:30pm this afternoon, Fort Worth Fire Department and Police Department along with MedStar EMS responded to the 7800 block of Park Vista Blvd and Glen Canyon Road for an accident.
When emergency crews arrived, they located a young girl who had been struck by a vehicle.
The child was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. Police originally said her injuries were minor, but family states she is in the ICU with a serious injury.
Fort Worth Councilman Charlie Lauersdorf says witnesses reported the car was speeding, but police did not say if speed was a factor in the collision.
“I am aware of the tragic accident that happened this evening when a little girl was hit by a speeding car while she was crossing the street at Glen Canyon and Park Vista Blvd on her way home from school,” said the Councilman. “This is devastating for all of us.”
The crash is under investigation.
