A 9-year old Council Bluffs boy suffered only minor injuries after he was hit by a car this (Wednesday) morning. Bluffs Police Sgt. Jason Bailey says an investigation revealed Joshua McNutt entered the intersection of 6th and Willow Streets at around 8-a.m., and was crossing the street against the walk signal, when he was hit by a car driven by Kayla Knudtson, of Omaha.

Bailey says because the car was traveling at a slow rate of speed at the time, the child suffered minor injuries to his knees as the result of falling to the ground. The boy was transported to Mercy Hospital’s E-R for an evaluation, as a precaution.

No charges will be filed in connection with the accident.
