My sympathies and prayers go out for this child to recover from his injuries and surgery as well.

I find myself wondering though, especially as this article was not very informative.

Was this 4 year old crossing a 'boulevard' by himself? Why? Where were his parents? Where was a responsible adult?

Not living in Utah, I have no idea if this 'boulevard' is a busy city 'boulevard', or a neighborhood street.

This is what I read on another site (in the comments) so I don't know if they are same incident or not.

The child has passed away.

The parents were there, they were sending off an older child to his first day of school and as the bus pulled away they waved goodbye and the other child thought they were waving him to cross the street.

Again, I don't know if that is the case or not. But horrible, in any case.

Horrible beyond belief. The loss of a child is always a tragedy...no matter what the circumstances.

Here is what the Salt Lake Tribune had to say about it:

"Boy critically hurt in car-bicycle collision
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 08/21/2008 11:15:50 AM MDT

Posted: 11:14 AM- A 4-year-old boy is in critical condition at Primary Children's Medical Center today after a minivan struck his bike in Saratoga Springs this morning.
It happened at about 7:30 near Saratoga Parkway Blvd. and Wagoneer Road.
According to Police Cpl. Aaron Rosen, the Ford Aerostar turned left in front of the boy as he was trying to cross the street on his bicycle. The minivan struck the front end of the boy's bike and then ran over his body.
Rosen said the boy was still in surgery at Primary Children's late this morning.
-Steve Gehrke"

So now we have a new ingredient added to the mix...a bicycle.

This is why good reporting is so vital. This article also mentions nothing about an older brother getting on a bus, or the presence of parents.

Just a 4 year old on a bicycle crossing a street at 7:30 in the A.M.

Other news sources have also reported that the driver was a 16-year-old.
