CINCINNATI — A 5-year-old boy is in serious condition after being struck by a vehicle in East Price Hill, Cincinnati police said early Sunday.
Police said the child was exiting from the driver's rear side of a parked vehicle, with an adult, when he was struck by a vehicle in the 2800 block of Glenway Avenue at 7:49 p.m., Saturday evening.
The driver of that vehicle did not stop, police said.
CPD's Crash Response Unit was called to the scene and police could be seen canvasing the area looking for any witnesses and cameras that may give a glimpse at the striking vehicle.
Aleah Wigle lives near where the crash happened. She didn't hear the crash, but she is heartbroken for the boy's family.
“I see cars fly through here all the time literally just, they will blow through red lights, they don’t care. I’ve seen cars come flying down Wing Street and almost tip over. It’s incredibly unsafe. It scares me for my three little boys. I don’t even like them being out in the front yard because you never know what’s going to happen. Things can happen in a split second. It’s terrifying," Wigle said.
She wants drivers to slow down and be mindful several kids live in the area.
"There’s a school right down the street from here, kids walk up and down these streets all the time. Keep in mind those are somebody’s kids. They want them to come home at the end of the day. If that was my kids, I want them to come home at the end of the day," she said.
