RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Reno Police Department released a progress report on an 8-year-old boy who was hit by a car in a Walmart parking lot earlier this week, according to Officer Hunter Mercurio.

“The child is going to be totally OK,” Mercurio said on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

The incident happened on Saturday, Jan. 17, about 1:20 p.m. at the 250 Vista Knoll Parkway store in Reno.

“The child was walking in between cars then went into the aisle and was struck by a moving car,” Mercurio said.

The Reno Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team has found that speed and impairment do not appear to be factors in this crash, the police said.

The driver is cooperating with investigators.

“Make sure to be aware of your surroundings when walking through parking lots with your family,” Mercurio said. “Drive slow and be attentive especially while in crowded parking lots.”

Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to call police at (775) 334-2677 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.
