Report: 10-year-old Brockton boy uninjured after car runs over his legs
“My son’s traumatized.”
A 10-year-old boy walked away without any broken bones after a car ran over his legs in Brockton this week, Boston 25 News reports.
Frances Martins told the station her son was lying down on the ground on Monday after he got dizzy playing basketball with his friends on Somerset Place, a dead-end street. A nearby surveillance camera captured a car driving over her son’s legs and the boy jumping up and limping away afterward.
“I was devastated, I really didn’t know how to react, outrage for a second, but then got my son to the hospital,” Martins told the station. “My son’s traumatized.”

A Brockton mom tells me her son was run over by a car – and it was caught on camera! Luckily he’ll be okay! But she’s hoping police hold the driver fully responsible for this close call.
