DALLAS — One child has died after being run over by a truck on Thursday near Felix Botello Elementary School in Dallas, police said
According to Dallas PD Assistant Chief Catrina Shead, three children and one adult were hit by the truck around 3:30 p.m. in the 200 block of South Marsalis Avenue off of Interstate 35 East.
Shead confirmed that one of the children died. The other two children, Shead said, were in “critical but stable condition.” Dallas Fire-Rescue said the victims are two 8-year-old girls and a 12-year-old boy, but did not specify which is the deceased. DPD stated that all of the children involved are under 10 years old.
Dallas PD also noted that the adult was in stable condition.
Dallas Fire-Rescue said units responded to the scene and transported the victims to Children’s Medical Center.
Shead said police are investigating this incident as an accident, and, through their preliminary investigation, don’t believe that speed played a factor in the collision.
