A Michiana girl escaped life-threatening injuries when she was hit by a car Tuesday afternoon in Mishawaka.
It happened just after 4:00 p.m., in the 600 block of West Fourth Street.
Police say the girl darted between parked cars, and the driver wasn't able to stop in time.
Police encourage kids to cross only at street corners, and say the accident also serves as a reminder to drivers.
“We urge drivers who are in our area, in our neighborhoods, to slow down and be prepared for that child that may dart out in front of you,” said Lt. Tim Williams of the Mishawaka Police Department. “I think that may have been one of the things that helped out today. The good thing is you have a driver that was paying attention and not driving as fast as some of the complaints we've had in this area.”
Police say the girl went to the hospital after complaining of head and back pain.
Again, they say her injuries are not life-threatening.
