PHOTOS: (Photo in extended article contains women) The family of an 11 year-old boy struck and injured by a vehicle, is doing what they can to prevent it from happening again. The boy, pictured, was driving his bicycle on Pine Street last Thursday morning, when a driver stuck him, leaving him with a broken Collar Bone. The driver then fled the scene. This afternoon, the family stood in the hot sun at the intersection of Pine Street and Martin Luther King Drive, holding signs reading “Drive Safer”, “Hit and Run 11 yr old” and “Slow Down”, in attempt to get drivers to slow down on the high-speed road. The family also hopes the driver who fled the scene may turn himself in, or is tracked by the Police.
