MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A child walking to school on Powell Avenue was struck by a vehicle Thursday morning.
Desmond Lenard was driving north on Powell Avenue in South Monroe when the child stepped off the sidewalk. Lenard quickly cut the wheel away from the pedestrian, but the car's side mirror hit the 8 year old. The child sustained minor injuries to the head and was immediately transported to the hospital.
Monroe Police say the child was walking to school with a relative when the accident occurred, and that Lenard did all he could to avoid the accident so no citation was given.
