12-year-old hit by car in Dover

DOVER - A 12-year-old boy was hit by a car Monday morning in Dover, Public Safety Director Dominick Saldida said.

The 12-year-old, who was not named because he was a minor, was struck near the intersection of Thompson Avenue and Chestnut Street at about 7:30 a.m. Monday, Saldida said.

The boy suffered a broken ankle as a result of the crash and was taken to the Morristown Medical Center for treatment, Saldida said.

No information was given about the vehicle that hit the boy or its driver, but Saldida said charges were pending an ongoing investigation.

No additional information was immediately available Monday.
