Multiple Children Seriously Injured in Vehicle Collisions Across U.S.

An 11-year-old boy was seriously injured and airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta after being hit by a vehicle on Roberts Road in Newnan, Georgia. The incident occurred near a popular biking and walking trail, and witnesses reported the child was struck while using a crosswalk. Neighbors expressed concerns about frequent speeding on Roberts Road and noted that the pedestrian crosswalk lights have been out for some time, potentially contributing to the accident. The driver remained at the scene and no charges have been filed yet as the investigation continues. Separately, a child was airlifted to a Boston-area hospital after a two-car crash in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and a teenage girl was reported in critical condition after being struck by a pickup truck in Southwest Miami-Dade, Florida. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about pedestrian and cyclist safety in various communities.
