A five-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital late yesterday afternoon after being struck by a private shuttle near Third Street and Williams Avenue in the Bayview. The boy had been walking behind his mother and a sibling while crossing Third Street when the shuttle made a right turn and struck him. The shuttle was only carrying one passenger who was not injured. SFPD says the driver is cooperating with the investigation while they try to determine who was at fault.

UPDATE: SFAppeal brings word, via Bay City News, that the child's condition has been improving and he is expected to survive.
