Pedestrians taken to hospital after car struck them

On the morning of Feb. 25, a father and his 10-year-old son were walking to school when they were struck by a car while crossing Detroit Avenue near the intersection with Webb.

The collision broke the boy's leg and the father also had some minor injuries, according to the police report.

The driver — a 29-year-old woman from Cleveland — had a green light at the time of the crash. However, neither she nor the boy's father knew for certain if the walk/don't walk sign was illuminated, according to the police report.

A witness told police that the driver was going about 10 mph at the time of the crash.

The driver was cited on a count of not yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
