A woman and nine-year-old boy were taken to hospital yesterday after they were hit by a car in Burnaby.
RCMP say the two were crossing at Grange and Patterson streets in a marked crosswalk around 4:30 p.m. when they were struck by a blue SUV and thrown a short distance.
The woman remains in serious condition, while the boy's injuries were not life-threatening.
Officers say the 57-year-old driver was likely not paying attention.
He remained at the scene and co-operated with police.
