ST. GEORGE — A driver who police say failed to yield ran into a group of children Tuesday evening, injuring one of them enough to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance.
The group of four children were walking on a crosswalk on Dixie Drive while a man driving a sedan was turning right from Sunset Boulevard at about 7:15 p.m., St. George Police officer Jace Hutchings said. The car struck at least two of the girls in the group, while another boy in the group was able to jump back just in time, Hutchings said.
“Our witnesses say one of the girls flew in the air after getting hit,” Hutchings said. “I don’t know exactly how far she went.”
Drinks that the children were holding while crossing the roadway were splattered across the pavement after the collision.
