On Tuesday, November 9th at 9:22 am, a 22 year old mother was taking a walk with her 4 year old son along the road in Poughkeepsie, when a car came barreling down the road from the North side, striking the child in the stroller. According to Shantal Parris Riley, who wrote the article in The Poughkeepsie Journal, he was ejected from the stroller and suffered from serious head and stomach injuries. He was rushed to Westchester Medical Center. When brought the the Medical Center, it was under question whether he would survive or not. The male that hit them was William Alexander, age 41. Riley states that Alexander was charged with second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor, and other traffic charges. He was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol of any kind, as the test shows, but he is now sentenced to appear in court at a later date. Why the woman was pushing her son along a main road is unclear, but the fact that her child was injured through this, is unbearable.
