Child killed, 3 injured after being hit by truck outside Dallas school
A child was killed and three other people, including one adult, were injured after they were hit by a pickup truck outside a Dallas elementary school, according to WFAA-TV.
The crash occurred about 3:30 p.m. Thursday near Felix G. Botello Elementary School on Marsalis Avenue in Dallas, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesperson said.
A 12-year-old boy and two 8-year-old girls were taken to Children’s Hospital, according to the fire department. Police told WFAA that they thought all the children involved were under 10 years old. Officials did not specify which of the children had died.
Police said the other two children were in critical condition. The adult who was injured in the collision was stable, officials told WFAA.
The driver remained at the scene of the crash, and no criminal charges had been filed as of Thursday evening.
Police are investigating the incident as an accident and do not have reason to think that speed was a factor in the collision, Dallas police Assistant Chief Catrina Shead said.
