PISTAKEE HIGHLANDS, Ill. (CBS) -- A child was hospitalized Wednesday afternoon after being struck by a sport-utility vehicle while riding an electric bike in McHenry County.
The McHenry County Sheriff's Office said the child was riding a Razor MX350 mini bike when they were struck in the intersection of N Lake Street and West Pleasant View Drive by a 2018 Toyota Highlander.
The child was flown to Loyola Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition. The age and gender of the child was not released.
The Highlander driver declined medical attention and was issued a citation for not driving on the right side of a two-lane road.
Investigation into the crash remains ongoing by the McHenry County Major Crash Investigation Unit and the Department of Children and Family Services.
The office said the open investigation could lead to additional charges.
Razor electric dirt bikes like the one the child was riding are rated for kids 8 and over and can travel up to 14 mph.
