An elderly woman and a child were struck by an automobile while they crossed the intersection of Stewart Street and Kansas Avenue on Tuesday, police said.

A 74-year-old woman and a 4-year-old boy were struck at about 4:15 p.m. by an automobile that was turning left onto the 2700 block of Kansas Avenue, said Lt. Frank Fabrega, a Santa Monica Police Department spokesman. The pair were in the crosswalk when the car hit them, Fabrega said.

Both victims sustained serious injuries and were taken to an undisclosed area hospital.

The two were crossing an intersection that is two blocks east of Edison Elementary School, an area where there are many children crossing the street.

After being interviewed by police officers, the driver of the vehicle was released. However, an investigation into the incident is on-going, Fabrega said.
