Five people were injured Friday as they walked through a crosswalk in Highland Park. The driver may have run a stop sign, witnesses told police.

The accident happened in the 900 block of North Avenue 57 at about 8:15 a.m. near Yorkdale Elementary School, according to Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Two adults and three children were injured in the incident. A 52-year-old grandmother and one of the children were transported in critical condition following the accident, Scott said in an interview with KTLA.

A 32-year-old woman and the two other children suffered only minor injuries. They were taken to local hospitals for future treatment, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in an interview with KTLA. All the victims were related to one another.

The three children were students at Yorkdale Elementary School. One boy and one girl were third graders at the school. The other child, a girl, was a fifth grader at the school, the Los Angeles School Police Chief Steven Zipperman posted on Twitter.

Witnesses said the driver, an 87-year-old man, failed to stop at a stop sign before striking the family. He was uninjured, authorities said. No charges have been filed.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Traffic Division is investigating the crash.

Four-year-old Santa Rosa Boy Killed By Hit-and-Run Driver

Four-year-old Santa Rosa Boy Killed By Hit-and-Run Driver

Last week was a tragic morning for a four-year-old Santa Rosa boy who was struck by a hit-and-run driver yesterday evening. The child died at Children’s Hospital Oakland, according to a news story in the San Francisco Chronicle, where he had been transported after the 6:00 p.m. accident on August 18, 2011.

The boy was walking in a crosswalk across West Ninth Street with his family when the car hit him. No stop light or stop sign controls cars at that intersection, the news story states. After hitting the boy, the driver fled the accident scene. The Chronicle reports that someone who had been listening to police radio traffic heard about the hit-and-run accident, and saw the car at Finley Park, not even a mile from the accident site at West Ninth Street and Rockwell place near Jacobs Park. The person then notified police that the driver was removing stickers and decals off the rear window.

The hit-and-run driver, who then left with a woman in a Volvo, was apprehended by police. The driver was found to be not only unlicensed, but also was arrested twice for driving without a license. The driver was apprehended for felony hit-and-run, and may face other charges following the boy’s death.
