(November 5, 2008)—A Central Texas child is recovering at a local hospital after the bicycle he was riding was struck by a small vehicle.

The accident happened around 7 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Avenue O and Magnolia Street in Belton.

The mother of the child told News 10 he was on his way to visit his teacher, a part of his daily ritual, and was not yet on his way to school.

The driver of the vehicle told police she did not see the child until it was too late.

The child was taken by Belton EMS to Scott and White Medical Center.

No citations were issued Wednesday morning; the cause of the accident, however, was still under investigation.

To the mother of the child in this article: KWTX is very famous for reporting crappy news with less than 10% of the facts. I applaud you for coming on here and defending yourself and your son. My prayers are for y'all and the other lady involved. TO KWTX: You may want to consider brushing up on professional journalism!!!

So big deal if he waves to his teacher if he is riding his bike! Teachers are a part of the community too and often times live in the same neighborhoods as their students. It is sad when people jump to conclusions before knowing the real story! And this is to KWTX: If the mother was NEVER interviewed by you as she has stated then I think you could at least fix you mistake and either rewrite this story or take it down completely. Your story could be ruining an innocent teachers reputation by all the ASSUMPTIONS people are making. Remember what happens when you ASS-U-ME!!!!

(continued from mother of child)...Thank you to all who gave blessings, thoughts and prayers. Some of you know us and some of you don't. I appreciate the kindness.
