    TUESDAY,MAY 15,2018 Inside: 75¢ Voices: Important to understand canine boundaries — Page 4A Vol. 90 ◆ No. 38 SERVING CLOVIS, PORTALES AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES EasternNewMexicoNews.com FIELD READINESS 11-year-old struck by car, hospitalized ❏ Boy in ‘stable condition’ hours after incident, according to school superintendent. By David Grieder STAFF WRITER [email protected] CLOVIS — A child was hospitalized Monday morning after being struck by a car while crossing a busy intersection on his way to school, an apparent accident of timing and visibility. The 11-year old boy “was alert and con- scious,” but “complained of pain to his back and head” and was transported to Plains Regional Medical Center, according to an email from Clovis Police Capt. Roman Romero. Clovis Municipal Schools Superintendent Jody Balch said the boy was in “stable condi- tion” hours after the incident. Neither Balch nor Romero had updates Monday afternoon. The driver was not cited, Romero said, as the vehicle had right-of-way at the time of the incident just before 7:55 a.m. at the intersec- tion of 21st and Sycamore Streets. Yucca Middle School Principal Loran Hill said the child, a sixth grader, lives somewhere east of Norris Street and sometimes rides the bus into school. He wasn’t sure why the boy came on foot Monday, and said classes don’t start till 8:20 a.m. so “he would’ve had plenty of time” to get to class. Jennifer Bigler said she was three cars back, on Sycamore Street, at the time of the colli- sion.
