Details Are Under Investigation
Limited information is available about what took place. According to reports, rescuers were called to the scene at about 6:40 pm on Sunday. The child riding the e-bike was attempting to cross Green Lane after leaving the school’s parking lot. The driver of the car stopped and remained at the scene.
The Bristol Township police report that the child was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital and then airlifted to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Indications were that the child had a skull fracture.
Police later released video footage of the area. It shows a Toyota Camry entering the frame just moments prior to the child being struck. Witnesses reported seeing the bike fly onto the sidewalk. The family was heard screaming at the time. Police are also trying to determine why the child was riding such a large, high-powered bike.
A family member told police the child was sitting on the bike at the time it was struck and that the bike belonged to the child’s teenage brother. They reported that the two were waiting to cross the street on their bikes when they were hit by a speeding driver.
