A 14-year-old suffered serious injuries Saturday evening when he was run over in Oakland Park.
Relatives identify the teenager as Christian Alarcon and say he was visiting his father for the weekend. Witness Dennis Marquez told
CBS4 News Reporter Joan Murray that he saw the 14-year-old hanging on the side of an SUV standing on the running board.
He said that he watched in horror as the boy slipped and fell under the back wheels. The child's mother was driving.
"I called 9-1-1. The child was unconscious and there was blood coming out of his eye. It was sad to see because he's so young," Marquez said.
Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Keyla Concepcion said the department received the emergency call at 5:44 p.m. at 227 NW 43 Ct.
The child was rushed to Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.
A cousin identified as Danny Reyes said, "His lungs are bruised. We have to wait and see."
BSO cited the child's mother and impounded the SUV she was driving.
