On Monday a young boy was seriously injured having been hit by a vehicle.
According to Las Vegas police, the accident happened shortly after 3.30 p.m. when 55 year old Mara Swenson was driving westbound on Owens Avenue in a 1998 Lincoln Navigator. As she approached the intersection of Linnbaker Lane, close to Lamb Boulevard, there were two boys crossing the road, and not in a crosswalk.
Swenson tried to avoid striking them, but she hit one boy, who was ten years old and the other left the scene. The boy who was hit was taken to University Medical Center’s Trauma Center with what were considered to be serious injuries, including a possible broken femur and minor head injuries.
Swenson was not injured; however she was charged and booked with driving under the influence.
The incident remains under investigation.
