8/8/13 - A Wayne County child is in good condition after police say his mother accidentally ran him over Wednesday night in Cohoctah Township. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department says deputies were dispatched about 7:30 Wednesday evening to the Waterâs Edge Camp Ground off of North Burkhart Road on the report of a four year old child being struck by a vehicle. A preliminary investigation revealed that 27-year-old Stephanie Wade of Flat Rock was driving a minivan eastbound on a roadway in the campground with her three children unrestrained in the rear of the vehicle. Wade was reportedly heading to the front of the campground to drop off garbage with the sliding doors to the van left open. Wadeâs four year old son fell from the minivan and was subsequently struck before she could stop. Witnesses reported Wade was traveling at a very slow speed at the time of the incident. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in the crash. The boy was flown by U of M Survival Flight to Mottâs Children Hospital and was originally listed in stable but temporary serious condition. He was last listed in good condition. None of the other children were injured. Deputies were assisted at the scene by personnel with the Howell Area Fire Department and Livingston County EMS. The incident remains under investigation by the Livingston County Sheriff Department Traffic Safety Bureau. (JK)
