Child Transported in Bicycle Accident at Townhouse Square Apartments
Vancouver, WA (January 12, 2025) – A 5-year-old boy sustained serious injuries following an E Mill Plain Boulevard accident Thursday afternoon.
The authorities responded around 3:30 p.m. to the traffic accident at the parking lot of the Townhouse Square Apartments.
According to the investigators, the driver was driving in the parking lot when he felt the rear of his vehicle had run over something.
The driver stopped and saw the child on the ground with his bike.
Troopers said the child was riding his bicycle between two parked cars before entering the roadway. The child was not wearing a helmet at that time.
The child incurred life-threatening injuries and was rushed to a local hospital.
Meanwhile, the driver was not released and cooperated with the investigation.
Troopers don’t believe speed or impairment were factors in the accident.
Focus on the Road
Millions of people take to the roads for work, school, errands, or leisure. While many of these trips are uneventful, accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Traffic accidents can change lives in an instant, causing physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial hardship.
Wearing your seatbelt is the simplest and most effective way to protect yourself in an accident. It can reduce the risk of serious injury or death by up to 50%.
Similarly, texting, talking on the phone, eating, or doing anything else that takes your eyes off the road for even a second can have disastrous consequences. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
