An 11-year-old boy on a bicycle was struck by a car on Harrison Avenue in Centralia yesterday.
Police and aid called just after 5 p.m. said the Centralia resident sustained cuts and a leg injury. He was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital.
Centralia Police Department Sgt. Carl Buster said the child came across the busy arterial from the south side near the Panda Inn restaurant and was hit by a westbound Mitsubishi Lancer. He was accompanied by three other young bicyclists, Buster said.
One driver stopped, but the 18-year-old driver of the Mitsubishi didn’t even have a chance to see the boy, Buster said. She was not cited, he said.
