WESTFIELD – A four-year-old girl was taken to Baystate Medical Center with an apparently serious foot injury after she struck a vehicle in a parking lot Saturday.
Multiple callers starting at 4:12 p.m. reported that the girl had been stuck by a car and she was reported to be bleeding seriously from a foot injury.
Officer Patrick Shea responded and reports that he was told that the girl had been riding a battery powered scooter when she left the sidewalk and struck the driver’s side door of a vehicle pulling into a parking space.
The girl’s foot went under the 1999 Ford Taurus as it was parking and the driver’s side rear wheel ran over the girl’s foot.
The girl was transported to Baystate Medical Center by Westfield Fire Department ambulance where she was admitted and reported to be in good condition last night.
Shea reports that a report was filed with the Department of Children and Families because the girl was not supervised at the time of the accident.
