Council Bluffs Police report a child suffered only minor injuries after being struck by a car Monday evening. Officers were called to the scene in the 600 block of Elliott Street a little after 6-p.m. Their investigation determined a three year old boy was riding his tricycle down the driveway at that address and was struck by a car when his tricycle entered the roadway.

A large bush at the end of the driveway obstructed the view of the driver, who was not able to stop in time. The driver of the vehicle was not cited.

Although the child’s injuries were minor and consisted of scrapes, he was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, for observation and treatment of those injuries.
