A female was pushing a stroller, with her 2-year-old grandson inside – in the crosswalk at the above address – when the two were struck by a silver Chevrolet Silverado 2500 pickup truck turning left onto Fuqua Street from a stop sign on Bathurst Drive.

Paramedics transported the toddler and the woman to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. Doctors pronounced the child deceased. The female, 64, sustained minor injuries and is listed in stable condition.

The male driver, 25, of the Chevrolet remained at the scene. He did not show signs of intoxication and was questioned and released.
