SPRINGFIELD — An 11-year old boy remains in critical condition at Children’s Hospital in Dayton after being struck by a car Friday night, Aug. 27.

Dominic R. Jennings, of Springfield, was hit by a car in the 1800 block of Selma Road around 6:30 p.m., Friday.

Jennings and his 12-year old brother were playing Friday evening when Jennings crossed Selma Road to retrieve a ball, said Sgt. Brian Radanovich of the Springfield Police Division.

Jennings was struck by a 1995 Pontiac driven by 22-year-old Christopher Baker of 2217 South Hadley Road, according to a police report.

Police are looking for a possible witness to the accident — another driver who slowed before turning left into a local business’ parking lot at the time of the accident, said Radanovich.

Baker submitted to testing to see if alcohol may have been a factor, said Radanovich. Results of the testing should be known in four to six weeks, he said. No charges have been filed.

If anyone has any information about this incident, please call (937)324-7716.
