First grader Ximena Duran is back home and healing after she was struck by a vehicle, a collision that sent the 6-year-old girl to a hospital for several days.
Ximena has Down Syndrome and is nonverbal, according to her family, and last week she darted into traffic outside her Franklin Park home and was hit by a car.
“I was holding her hand and next thing you know she just ran off,” said her mom Mariela Velasquez. “Her skull was fractured, but the swelling went down. She has a blood clot, but it went down.” Authorities say the driver stayed at the scene and was not speeding. No citations or tickets were issued, but her mother – and others who live in the area -- are calling for changes at the intersection of Rose and Chestnut.
