The boy was riding a tricycle on a sidewalk in the 3100 block of E. Cicero Street, near University Drive and Lindsay Road, just after 3:30 p.m. As he crossed over a driveway, the woman backed over the boy, trapping him under the truck, police said.
The boy’s father saw it happen. When he sprinted to the truck and began pounding on the windows to get the driver to stop, she drove away, police said. The woman was picked up a short time later when patrol officers spotted her truck driving down Alma School Road.
A helicopter flew the boy to a trauma center for severe head injuries. Police said he remains in serious condition and doctors have stabilized his condition.
