A six-year-old boy suffered serious injuries to his abdomen after he was hit by a car and pinned against a wall in Santa Ana, according to a news report.
Santa Ana police said that the accident occurred in the 1200 block of West Highland Street near Shelton Street in Santa Ana when a male driver in his 30s pulled into a driveway at the same time the boy was running across it. The driver told police that he meant to brake but instead accelerated, pinning the boy against a brick wall.
The boy suffered severe abdominal trauma and was taken to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery for his injuries. He remains in serious condition.
