CLEARFIELD – A 6-year-old Clearfield boy was flown from the Clearfield Hospital to the Geisinger Medical Center following a single-vehicle accident at 10:34 p.m. Monday night on Little Clearfield Creek Road, the Lawrence Township Police Department reported.
A department spokesperson said the severity of the boy’s injuries wasn’t known by police. However, she said the boy sustained lacerations as a result of the accident. In addition, she said police hadn’t determined if the boy who was found outside the vehicle had been ejected or just exited on his own.
According to the accident report, a Clearfield woman swerved to miss a deer. She then overcorrected her vehicle when maneuvering to the right-hand side. Its right side tires traveled onto the berm, where the vehicle overturned and came to a rest on its side.
The woman and her 6-year-old boy were transported to the Clearfield Hospital. From there, the boy was flown to Geisinger Medical Center.
The investigation is ongoing at this time.
