A child was struck by a vehicle and died in Johnson County Monday.

 

The Johnson County 911 Center received a call reporting a two-year old boy had been struck by a vehicle at 4377 West Countyline Road, Lot 222, Greenwood, in the Winterbrook Mobile Home community.

 

Johnson County Sheriff Duane Burgess said driver of the vehicle involved in this incident was Christopher White, 59, of Greenwood, and an employee of Winterbrook. The vehicle he was driving was a 2021 Chevrolet pickup owned by the mobile home park. The driver reported that he came to a stop at an intersection, looked both ways and then turned.  At that time, he felt that he ran over something.  White said his truck is very tall and he never saw the child.
