EDMONDS, Wash. — A toddler and a teenager were struck and injured by a driver while in a crosswalk in Edmonds, police said.
At about 3:10 p.m. on April 22, officers were called to 220th Street Southwest at 80th Avenue West for pedestrians who had been hit by a car.
Police said a family of four was crossing the road in the marked crosswalk when a car going eastbound failed to stop.
A 14-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy both sustained injuries and were taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Both of the children returned home over the weekend. The toddler is recovering from a concussion and internal bruising. The teenager suffered significant bumps and bruises, according to a news release from Edmonds police.
An adult woman and a child in a stroller were not hurt.
Police said a 61-year-old driver from Mountlake Terrace stopped and cooperated with investigators. Edmonds police said on Thursday that the driver may have been distracted after picking up a family member from school.
She was cited for second-degree negligent driving, which carries a potential $553 fine.
The driver showed no signs of impairment, police said.
