PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A four-year-old boy was transported to Hasbro Children’s Hospital after being hit by a car Friday evening.

The young boy was transported with non-life threatening injuries. 

Police are investigating at this time, but believe speed, drugs, and alcohol were not factors in the accident.
