A 4-year-old girl is in critical condition today after being hit by a car while crossing the street in Stoughton, law enforcement officials said.
The Stoughton Police were called to the scene of the accident on Washington Street at about 11:39 a.m. Preliminary investigation indicated the girl, who was with other family members, was in a crosswalk when she was hit, the Norfolk district attorney's office said in a statement.
The girl was transported to a Boston trauma center with life-threatening injuries and is listed in critical condition, prosecutors said.
The driver of the Toyota Camry that struck the girl stopped her car after the crash and cooperated with police. She exhibited shortness of breath and was taken to a local hospital.
An assistant district attorney will assist Stoughton Police in the investigation. State Police collision analysis experts are also assisting, prosecutors said.
The driver has not been charged with a crime. The driver's name will not be released unless she is charged, prosecutors said.
