Springdale police said they don’t intend to file charges against the driver of an SUV who struck a 12-year-old boy riding a bicycle Thursday night on Lincoln Avenue.
Springdale police Sgt. Derek Dayoub said the woman’s northbound SUV struck the boy shortly before 6:30 p.m. in the area of Springdale Volunteer Fire Department.
The woman told police the boy rode in front of her. Dayoub said there were no witnesses, but police canvassed the area for video cameras and found only one that caught the tail end of the vehicle but not the incident itself.
