SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A 2-year-old boy is in the hospital after reportedly being hit by a car on Saturday night, according to the Salt Lake City Police Department.

Officers responded to the scene of the incident in a residential area on North Dexter Street in Salt Lake City and found the 2-year-old “conscious, alert, and breathing” at around 7 p.m. on May 3.

“Preliminary information indicates the child was accidentally hit by a slow-moving vehicle as it exited an apartment complex,” SLCPD public information officer Brent Weisberg said Saturday night. “We believe the child broke free from being held and ran into the car as it turned.”
