COWLEY COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating an accident Tuesday in which a juvenile pedestrian was struck by a vehicle, according to the Arkansas City Police Department.
Just before 6p.m. officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of North Summit Street for a report of an 11-year-old boy who had been struck by a southbound motor vehicle on Summit Street.
Police learned the juvenile was trying to cross the road eastbound on foot when he was struck.
The victim sustained minor injuries to his face and head. He was transported by the Arkansas City Fire-EMS Department via ambulance to South Central Kansas Medical Center for treatment.
The driver of the vehicle was not cited in connection with this accident because the juvenile was not in a crosswalk at the time he was struck by the vehicle.
Police did not release name of the driver or the victim.
