Mamaroneck Police Blotters: Child and Building Struck by Vehicles

On May 13, at approximately 1:45 p.m., a 4-year-old child was struck by a vehicle on Halstead Avenue. The driver told police that she pulled into a driveway, parked her vehicle, and as she was on the passenger's side of the vehicle taking something out of the back seat, the vehicle began to roll backwards, the front passenger's side door pinning the child's leg. The incident caused laceration and bleeding, and the pedestrian was taken to Westchester County Medical Center for further medical evaluation and treatment. The vehicle was towed for a safety inspection and it was later determined that the automatic transmission and parking system had no problems, police said.
Building Struck
On May 14, at approximately 4:30 p.m., one vehicle struck another and a building near the intersection of North Barry and Halstead avenues. The driver said he was traveling westbound on Halstead Avenue and, as he approached the intersection, could not see what color the traffic light was. He tried to stop as he saw the second vehicle entering the intersection, but was unable to. After striking the second vehicle, the first vehicle continued moving south and struck a building at the intersection. Both drivers were taken to Sound Shore Medical Center.
