(La Porte County, IN) - A six-year-old boy hit a passing vehicle on his toy three-wheeler in La Porte County Sunday afternoon, managing to escape any serious injuries in the process.

 

According to La Porte County Police, first responders were called just before 4 p.m. to the Deerfield Estates Mobile Home Park at 7701 S. U.S. 35, where a boy was sitting on the ground next to his mother and father complaining of pain from a swollen foot.

 

The investigation illustrated that the boy was riding a foot-powered three-wheeler in the driveway of his home and, at some point, rolled out to the street and into the side of a passing 2012 Chevy Equinox.

 

The vehicle, which was moving very slowly at the time of the incident, did not sustain any damage.

 

Medics looked the boy over, but his parents reportedly responded they would take him to the hospital for any additional treatment that might be necessary.
