Injury accident involving a pedestrian (2 patients) reported at East Royal Palm Rd + North Hayden Rd in Scottsdale, AZ.

Units responding or on scene include: E604 E605 M-602 M-603 BC601 SCTP02 SCTP03.

[Update] On March 7th at approximately 9:40 am, Scottsdale Police and Fire responded to a collision involving a single vehicle and a 2-year-old male pedestrian on Hayden Rd just north of Royal Palm Ln. Witnesses on-scene immediately began performing life-saving aid and Scottsdale Fire paramedics transported the patient to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The investigation thus far has revealed that a small size SUV was traveling southbound on Hayden, occupied only by the driver, a 28-year-old female. The vehicle lost control and drove up onto the sidewalk, striking the 2-year-old, who was walking with his parents. The adults were not injured in the collision. The driver remained on-scene and is cooperating with investigators. Neither speed nor impairment appear to have been factors in this tragic accident. The investigation remains ongoing and no additional information is available at this time, according to Sergeant Brian Reynolds with the Scottsdale Police Department.
