A child was killed, and three others were injured after being struck by a vehicle while leaving Felix Botello Elementary School in Oak Cliff on Thursday afternoon.
According to Fox 4 and Dallas officials, one adult and three children were struck by a truck while leaving the school on South Marsalis Avenue.
The adult and three children were crossing an area without a crosswalk.
The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. Police say that one child died and the two others are in critical condition, but are considered to be stable. The adult is also said to be stable.
Dallas Independent School District officials confirmed that the three children – a 12-year-old boy and two 8-year-old girls – were students at the school.
