An off duty state trooper from New Jersey William Sisco, was at the scene first and stayed with the child until the emergency rescue could arrive. Reports state that even though the boy was wearing his helmet he still faces head and facial injuries as well as a broken leg. The police department claims that there are no updates on the boy’s health after being taken to the local hospital.
At this time, the police are still investigating the event and have chosen to refrain from pressing charges thus far. Receiving the news that your little child was involved in a car accident while riding his bicycle can be a frightening experience to have to face, and perhaps you feel that the accident could have been avoided if it weren’t for the negligence of the other driver.
In the case of this little boy, what if the driver going through the intersection paid closer attention to her surroundings? What if she was under the influence of alcohol, which impaired her from recognizing the little boy on the road that wasn’t stopping at the stop sign? This is not to say that this was the case for Nancy Koteras, however it may be the unfortunate circumstance for your child if they were hit by a moving vehicle while enjoying a ride on their bike.
