VIDEO: On Wednesday afternoon, some children could be seen on their front-yard swing on 100 South in St. George, their smiles showing a happy innocence. Just three blocks away was a contrasting image, as St. George Police officers were investigating a collision involving a mother, her two children, a stroller and a vehicle.
The collision between a Jeep Cherokee and the stroller left both children, ages one and 10, with minor injuries, according to police, though the injuries to the older child were enough that they had to be taken by ambulance to St. George Regional Hospital.
The collapsed stroller sat on the street near the curb as police investigated the incident that happened around 4:30 p.m., with some witnesses on scene looking visibly shaken. According to witnesses, a vehicle traveling west on 100 South hit the front of the stroller holding a toddler as it was turning onto 100 East.
