No charges or summons were filed against the driver of the Volkwagen Golf after the victim was brought to Hackensack University Medical Center following the 9:15 accident, Anthony Cureton of the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Authorities said the boy was trying to cross with his 12-year-old brother and a friend instead of using the nearby overpass.
