PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Seminole Pratt Whitney Road is back open after a child was hit by a truck Friday morning.
The collision occurred at 10:26 a.m. in the 5200 Seminole Pratt Whitney Road.
A 5-year-old was taken by Trauma Hawk with a head injury to St. Mary's Medical Center.
Her father sustained minor injuries, according to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the father and his child were trying to cross the road when they were struck by a Chevy truck.
Investigators say a 2016 Chevy Silverado, driven by Jose Castro, 47, was traveling west on Town Center Parkway South and turning southbound onto Seminole Pratt Whitney Road.
Two pedestrians — Evan Andrew Solensky, 38, and his five-year-old daughter, Kayla — were walking within a marked crosswalk westbound, and had a crossing signal counting down. The driver had a left turn signal on, and as they attempted the left turn, the left front corner of the vehicle made contact with both pedestrians.
The road was shut down southbound and traffic diverted through a parking lot while the crash was investigated.
