INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD confirmed an IPS student was not hit by a car that left the scene Wednesday morning on the city's far east side.
Initially, police received a report of a child hit by a car around 7 a.m. Sept. 13 outside of Phalen Leadership Academy 103, located at 3920 Baker Drive, near 38th Street and North Post Road.
Witnesses told police they thought a car hit the child and left the scene, but upon further investigation, officers determined the incident was not a hit-and-run.
According to an IMPD spokesperson, as the child was exiting a vehicle outside of the school, the child got caught in a cord from the car and was dragged a very short distance before getting free.
Medics took the child to a hospital, and their condition is said to be stable.
The area near the school is back open to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
