A car accident in Thousand Oaks resulted in critical injuries for a woman and three children who were struck by a van while walking in a marked crosswalk. According to the Ventura County Star, the major injury collision occurred the afternoon of May 22, 2012 on Thousand Oaks Boulevard at Live Oak Street. Police say the 29-year-old woman was crossing East Thousand Oaks Boulevard in a crosswalk with a 2-year-old child in a stroller and three other girls ages 3, 5 and 6.
A westbound minivan approached in the fast lane. The woman pushed the stroller to safety and the toddler escaped injury. However, the woman and three girls were hit. The injured victims were transported to a local hospital where they are said to be in critical but stable condition. The driver was not arrested pending an official investigation.
My heart goes out to the woman and the three children who have been severely injured in this car accident. I wish them the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
