[Bloemfontein 24 December 2011 20:00]
A 17 month old baby boy was knocked by a car as he was in the road in the informal settlement, Freedom Square, in Bloemfontein.
It is not immediately clear as to why the baby was in the road in the first place, but it is believed that the mother was nearby, possibly visiting with a neighbour. The baby luckily suffered only moderate injuries in the form of bruises and scrapes to his head and limbs, but he was in a stable condition when he was taken by ambulance to the Pelonomi Hospital.
The driver of the Ford was not injured.
The boy’s mother accompanied him to hospital.
