NH 8-Year Old Boy And Father Hit By Car While Walking To School Bus

BEDFORD, N.H. (CBS) – An 18-year-old driver accidentally hit his father and brother in a driveway in Bedford, NH Wednesday morning while they were walking to the school bus.

The 47-year-old and 8-year-old were hit at 7:15 a.m. on Back River Road. Police say the driver has been identified as 18-year-old Trae Sealey. Bedford Police said Sealey was backing out of a driveway in a 2010 Chevy Malibu when he hit his family members.

"The vehicle had fully ran over the juvenile and then the vehicle pulled forward again so that the juvenile could get out," said Bedford Police Officer Rob Lavoie.

The boy broke his leg. The father had minor injuries. Both were taken to the hospital.

The investigation is ongoing, but police do not believe there was any sort of malicious intent.

"From what he had said it does not appear that he was distracted," Lavoie said. "He was just backing up and did not realize that they were outside the residence walking towards the road."

No charges have been filed.
