A 14-year-old boy suffered a broken leg after being hit by a car on upper Main Street near the elementary school entrance Monday afternoon.
The Sheriff's office was called to a personal injury car-pedestrian accident on Main Street at 4:36pm. An investigation revealed that David Harrington, 38, of Esperance was traveling north on Main Street when he struck a 14-year-old boy who was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk, according to the Schoharie County Sheriff's office.
The victim was transported to Albany Medical Center by MEVAC and the county EMS with a right leg fracture and several cuts, police said. There was no word on required treatment.
After speaking with a witness and the parties involved, police said it was determined that speed was not a factor, and that the boy may have misjudged the distance and time he had to cross, not allowing the driver time to react and stop prior to the crosswalk. It was also determined that drugs or alcohol were not factors in the accident.
No charges are being filed at this time, according to police.
The Middleburgh fire department and Scho-Wright Ambulance also assisted at the scene, police added.
