KALAMAZOO, Mich (April 18, 2014) – A 4-year-old boy is in the hospital after being struck by a vehicle while riding his bike today.

Officers found the 4-year-old lying in the street in the 1700 block of North Rose Street around 4:15 p.m.  The boy was crying with visible injuries to his head.  He was transported to the hospital where he’s listed in stable condition after suffering minor bumps and bruises.

A witness tells investigators the 4-year-old was riding his bike in a driveway when he slid out in the roadway and was hit by a vehicle.
