A child is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after she was struck by a car in Richmond’s Blackwell area on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Just before 1 p.m., in the 1400 block of Hull Street, near the intersection with East 14th Street, a girl under age 10 was hit by a car as she crossed Hull Street, Richmond Police spokeswoman Koury Wilson said.

The girl was with two adults who crossed the street ahead of her, not realizing the girl was not with them, Wilson said. As the child attempted to cross the street to meet them, she was hit by a vehicle, Wilson said.

There are no charges expected at this time for the driver of the vehicle, Wilson said.

Wilson gave neither the girl’s exact age nor the hospital to which she was taken. She said she could not immediately provide information on the make or model of the vehicle involved in the collision.
