SUV Accidentally Hits 7-Year-Old Student in Albay, Victim in Critical Condition
A seven-year-old student finds himself in critical condition after being struck by an SUV while crossing the road in Tabaco, Albay.
The CCTV footage shows two young students confidently using a pedestrian lane while the road appears to be clear and safe. However, as they reach the middle of the street, one of the children is hit by an oncoming SUV.
The impact is strong enough that the young victim is thrown from the force of the collision.
The mother of the seven-year-old student must deal not just with her son’s serious condition, but also with the emotional stress that comes with such a traumatic event. A simple act of crossing the street turned the family’s world upside down.
After the accident, the victim’s mom pointed fingers at a parked white van on the pedestrian lane, claiming that it obstructed the view of the SUV driver, making it impossible for them to see the children crossing the road.
The driver of the SUV, who was involved in the accident, has expressed a commitment to provide financial assistance for the child’s medical treatment.
Local barangay officials and school authorities are set to meet and discuss measures to prevent such accidents from happening in the future. It is an important step towards raising awareness about road safety, particularly in areas with a high volume of pedestrian traffic, such as schools.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for vigilance when it comes to protecting our children on the streets.
