Hit-and-run strikes 9-year-old in Treynor, Iowa

Jayden Anderson was walking along Highway 92 about 8:45 last Friday evening when he was struck by a red car with black stripes. The car was occupied by three or four people who’ve not been identified.  So who is this Iowa hit-n-run driver?

Nine-year-old Jayden Anderson was struck by a vehicle while walking along Highway 92 in Treynor at about 8:45 Friday evening.

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office says the vehicle that struck Jayden left the scene, and the driver failed to report the accident. The vehicle is described as a red car with a black stripe, and was occupied by three-or-four subjects.

“The second-grader was walking with two other children near Elementary Avenue and Highway 92 Friday night when he was hit by a westbound car. The car drove off.

"He was just with some friends. They weren't doing anything but what kids do. Unfortunately, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Anderson.

Jayden was hospitalized in critical condition with what his father described as trauma to the head.”

FAQs

Car and Tractor Trailer Accidents


I filed a claim with my insurance comp. on my truck now they are sending me a payment for the repair of the damage the person did and taking the other person to court for the money for the damage. Do I have to repair the damage on the vehicle or can I keep the money for something else?



 

 


My son had his drivers license pulled in the state of Iowa. He was living there at the time. He said it was pulled due to having possession of marijana. I would like to know more about the charges and if there is a fine we can help him with to get this behind him. Is it best to hire an attorney to do this, as I am not familiar with the processes involving problems with police or criminal acts.

In March of 2007 I was the victim of a hit and run. I was driving and was hit on the driver's side by a car going approximately 90 mph according to the police. My head hit the door post, my face broke out the door window, My car was spun around and slid on its side about a block before coming to rest. I remember very little of what followed. I was taken to hospital by ambulance on a backboard and wearing a collar. They paid little attention to me over the next 3 1/2 hours except for taking some xrays. Then they sent me home. When my family and friends objected to this (they were worried about my head) the staff refused to do a head CT and sent me home anyway. By the next day my head, face, neck, shoulder, arm, ribcage, etc was swollen and bruised. My balance was off and I was having trouble speaking and focusing. When the swelling went down I had a facial palsy along with misc other problems. I have seen approximately 17 different doctors, I've been to Mayo Clinic and U of Iowa hospital. I had a CT about a week after the accident and was told it was normal but many doctors have said I have skull fractures, lesions on my brain from bleeding, my brain is twisted in my skull, my cerrebellum is fallen and pushing on my brainstem. I may have fractures of my C1 and C2. My right vertebral artery isn't working right and my basilar artery is kinked. My symptoms include facial palsy, vision difficulties, my tounge goes numb, I stop salivating, I bite my lips and toungue due to loss of muscle control. I also have a headache on the left side only most of the time, if I look up or tilt my head back I pass out, my left arm is weak and I have loss of feeling on my entire right side. I can't think straight, I can't multi-task, my speech is affected and I drool on myself. My balance is off so I fall alot and am always bruised. Trying to compensate for my balance issues has caused my knees to dislocate. I get nauseous alot. They say that in addition to the nerve problems there is also a vascular component. I'm told I will be like this now for the rest of my life. I lost my job, I had to take out my pension and lost alot of it due to my age (52) and am now on Social Security disability. I have been told by doctors who failed to document it that I should have been hospitalized and put in a HALO. I had an unstable neck injury that is no longer fixable without killing me. None of the hospital records agree. The nurses contradict the doctor who contradicts the EMTs who brought me there. And the EMT report said the damage to my vehicle was minor but my vehicle was totaled and the police report said there was more than 5000 dollars worth of damage. I just found out last summer that the hospital refused to do a CT and that I only saw a doctor for a couple minutes all the time I was at the hospital. My memory is effected by my 'minor' brain injury. Do I have a case? Is it too late? The kids who hit me were gang members who were shooting at each other while driving. They have nothing and will always have nothing.
