The 69-year-old driver didn't see the boy in the crosswalk after she stopped her Hyundai Sonata on Wilson Street and made a right turn onto Outwater Lane shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday, Capt. Richard Uram said.
She inadvertently hit the gas, crashing the Hyundai into an oncoming Honda CRV driven by a 38-year-old Lodi man on Outwater, Uram said.
The boy "was lucky he didn’t get pinned between the two cars," the captain said.
He suffered a possible broken leg, however, along with road rash, and was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, Uram said.
Neither driver was injured, he added.
An investigation was continuing.
