RapidCity, SD : Student injured after being hit by SUV near Robbinsdale Elementary on Wednesday, October, 18th 2017

A Robbinsdale Elementary student was injured this morning after she was hit by an SUV on Indiana Street in front of the school.

The girl was taken to a hospital and is expected to be released later today, according to an email from Rapid City Area Schools.

The accident occurred around 7:45 a.m. The girl, who had just been dropped off by her father, wasn't at a crosswalk when she attempted to cross Indiana Street, school district spokeswoman Katy Urban said.

A Chevy Tahoe traveling eastbound on Indiana Street struck the girl as the driver tried to pass a van that was parked on the side of the road, Rapid City Police spokesman Brendyn Medina said.

The girl's father, who was still in the area, saw the accident happen and scooped up his daughter and drove her to the hospital. The girl's name was not released, but Urban said she was 6 or 7 years old.

The driver of the SUV wasn't cited. "There was no excessive speed," Medina said. "The driver wasn't at fault."
