Knocked down on a pedestrian crossing, a child risks amputation

A month after an 11-year-old child was hit by a car in Clermont-Ferrand, a new tragedy occurred in a town in Puy-de-Dôme, 26 kilometers away. According to Actu.frit was a boy of the same age who was violently hit by a motorist.

Seriously injured in the ankle, the very young man risks amputation. The accident took place in the town of Aydat, in the place called La Cassière, on Monday around 5 p.m., after school. The victim had just gotten off the bus when he decided to cross the road on the pedestrian crossing. That's when a car arrived and hit her head-on.

Transported to hospital, diagnosis worries

Even if the child's life is not in danger, his condition remains worrying and he risks amputation following the serious injury to his ankle. Indeed, after having his foot rolled over, he suffered an open fracture.

After the accident, he was transported by emergency services to the pediatric hospital of Estaing University Hospital, where he is currently receiving appropriate care. Already a month ago, in Clermont-Ferrand, a little girl was knocked down while crossing the pedestrian crossing. His vital prognosis was in jeopardy.
