According to local police, the accident happened in the parking lot of the Flushing Meadows Corona Park. A 4-year-old boy was in the parking lot with his family when he was suddenly struck by a dirt bike rider. The driver then fled the scene of the accident without checking on the child.

Police have not yet identified the driver of the dirt bike but said that their bike was gold and black.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in New York 

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable parties on our roads, which means that they are likely to sustain some of the most catastrophic harm in the event of an accident. The truth is, children are some of the most vulnerable parties on our roadways when it comes to these accidents. This is due to the fact that children are not always aware of the dangers on the roads around them. Hundreds of pedestrians are killed and thousands are injured every year in New York. Your life could be turned upside-down in the blink of an eye due to a pedestrian accident that was caused by another party. If you have been hurt in a collision, you should speak with an attorney that you can trust.

Many severe injuries stem from these accidents including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, organ damage, broken bones, and more.
