A 15-year-old boy was transported to the emergency room after being struck by a car in Plainfield on Monday night.
Police said Tyler Daniels, of Moosup, was trying to cross South Main Street from Dance Works Dance Studio to the Cumberland Farms parking lot at 9:35 p.m. when he was struck.
Daniels did not use a cross walk and was wearing dark clothing when he was hit with the driver’s side mirror of a 2000 GMC K1500 traveling southbound on South Main Street, police said.
The driver contacted emergency services and told police he could not see Daniels because of the dark clothing.
Members of the Plainfield Police Department, Moosup Fire Department and American Legion Ambulance responded and Daniels was transported to Plainfield Backus Emergency Room.
His injuries are not life-threatening.
