ST PAUL, Minn. — Police say a 5-year-old remains in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle in St. Paul's Summit-University neighborhood Thursday evening.
The St. Paul Police Department says the crash happened around 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of Oxford Street North and Marshall Avenue. When officers arrived, they say they located the victim, a boy, who appeared to be badly injured and going in and out of consciousness.
Officers rendered aid until medics arrived and took him to Regions Hospital where he remains critical.
St. Paul police spokesperson Sgt. Natalie Davis says the 49-year-old female driver of the SUV that struck the boy stayed on the scene and was cooperative with investigators. Davis says there was no sign of impairment or distraction, and adds that witnesses told officers the 5-year-old ran onto the street before being hit.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation into the case remains open.
