At approximately 6:46 this evening, November 11, 2024, a traffic collision was reported on Buck Moore Road, just north of Highway 60.
Lake Wales Police Department Investigations Commander Lieutenant Dale Hampton advises that the call was for a vehicle vs. pedestrian.
“The mother was leaving the exit of Walgreens and crossed Buck Moore Rd, headed to 7-Eleven, when a vehicle struck the baby stroller she was pushing,” Hampton says.
The mother was reportedly not injured, but Hampton says the stroller was struck, and the baby was ejected from the stroller. The baby was taken by air to an unnamed hospital.
Buck Moore Rd. is currently open to traffic, but law enforcement is still present as they work to clear the area after their investigation. Please avoid this area.
