In the streets of Buffalo Grove, a 13-year-old boy riding his bike was struck by a vehicle. The boy's life, temporarily derailed, will be forever marked by Wednesday's incident, and the driver's fate hangs in the balance as authorities ponder the question of charges according to the Chicago Tribune.
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the young cyclist crossed Weiland Road near Newton Drive as reported by the Chicago Tribune. In the blink of an eye, the tranquility of the suburban landscape shattered as an unsuspecting 66-year-old driver bore down on the boy with an impact that would leave the youngster requiring immediate treatment as per CBS News.
The driver, a Wheeling resident, remained at the scene and showed cooperation, according to authorities. Meanwhile, the boy exhibited resilience in the face of adversity; he managed to survive the ordeal with non-life-threatening injuries, as CBS News reported.
Buffalo Grove Police and the State's Attorney's Office are set to review the case next week, per the Chicago Tribune.
