According to Little, the man in his 20s who struck them was traveling south on Route 166 when he turned left into Old Freehold Road. According to Little, the driver told police he saw a break in the traffic and decided to turn.
The woman pushing the stroller was not visible to the driver, he claimed.
It was reported that the mother was critically injured at
Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, having sustained the most severe injuries.
Her son suffered himself a hand injury. Little stated that the stroller had overturned, but it was unclear if the child had sustained any severe injuries.
Unverified accounts claim that moments before she was struck, the mother moved the stroller out of the way.
