The third-grader apparently ran into 17th Street near Morlot Avenue when he was struck by a 2014 Honda CR-V shortly before 4 p.m., police Sgt. Brian Metzler said.

He was taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson with a severe head injury, plus several broken bones, Metzler said.

The driver, a 58-year-old woman also from Fair Lawn, remained at the scene, the sergeant said. No charges will be filed, he said.

Fair Lawn police and Volunteer Ambulance Corps members were among the responders.
