Reading, PA : A Pennside man and his son remained hospitalized after a pedestrian accident on Wednesday, July 5, 2017

A Pennside man and his son remained hospitalized after a pedestrian accident on Carsonia Avenue, police said Wednesday.

Alexis Montalvo, 33, remained in Reading Hospital in good condition Wednesday two days after being struck by a car while going after his toddler son, police said. Montalvo was unconscious when he was taken by ambulance to Reading Hospital after the accident Monday about 9:50 a.m. in the 600 block of Carsonia Avenue, Central Berks Regional police said.
His 19-month-old son flew from his father's arms and landed on his head, but did not appear to have been struck by the vehicle, Chief Raymond Serafin said.The child, whose name was withheld by police, was also taken to Reading Hospital before being flown to a children's hospital in the region, Serafin said.
The father, who sustained a severe head injury, was the more seriously injured, Serafin said.
Police gave this account:
Montalvo and his son left their home in the 600 block of Carsonia Avenue and went to his car, which was legally parked nearby. The child was on the sidewalk and before the father could get him into the car, he dashed between parked vehicles into the street.
The father went after the boy and grabbed him. Just before being hit by the car, Montalvo turned away while holding the boy and was struck.
Montalvo was thrown into the air and on the way down his head struck the metal vertical support of the windshield.
Both father and son were unconscious when emergency responders arrived.
The driver, Nicole Taylor, 23, of the United Kingdom, was uninjured but was taken to Reading Hospital because she was experiencing anxiety symptoms. She was released after being treated.
Police closed the block for hours while they reconstructed the crash.
Serafin said witnesses said Taylor was driving at or below the speed limit and did not have enough time to stop.
