A Port Arthur child, 4, is recovering following an auto-pedestrian accident Friday afternoon.

The accident happened around 3:30 p.m. in the 2700 block of Lombardy. Neighbors say a maroon Chrysler truck struck the child as he tried to cross the road.

The child was taken to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont.

A spokesperson for the Port Arthur Fire Department tells 12 News the child suffered an open fracture wound to the leg.

Was the child not looking before crossing?? What kinda of question is that... the child was 4! A 4 year old doesn't know how to cross a street... the more appropriate question would be.... Where were the parents!!!!!!!! That's need to know detail.... Poor Baby.... Get well Soon! Where CPS?

Ok, was the truck speeding? Did the child not look before crossing? I really hate it when details like this is left out of a story.
