BUFFALO, N.Y. — An 8-year-old child died Monday night after being hit by a car on Buffalo's West Side, according to Buffalo Police.
Police say the child was hit by a car around 8:50 p.m. on Congress Street. The child, identified by police as Livinus Dusabumuremyi, later died at a local hospital.
"It appears at this time the child may have ran out between two parked cars and entered the roadway," said Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo.
Police say the driver is cooperating with officers. The driver stayed at the scene following the incident and agreed to have their blood drawn.
"We will be waiting on toxicology results to determine exactly what — if any — liability the driver has in this accident," Rinaldo said.
No charges have been filed at this time.
