Boulder, CO (August 27, 2025) – A distressing accident occurred Tuesday morning at the intersection of Pine St and 6th St in Boulder, where a vehicle struck a woman pushing a stroller. The incident happened around 10:02 a.m. on August 26. While the woman was reportedly unharmed, the infant in the stroller may have sustained injuries.
According to police dispatch reports, emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene. The vehicle involved remained present, and officers were able to initiate an investigation immediately. Paramedics were likely called to assess the baby’s condition, though further details on the extent of the infant’s injuries have not yet been released.
This residential intersection is a common route for pedestrians, particularly families with children. Its proximity to local parks and schools increases pedestrian traffic throughout the morning hours, heightening the importance of driver awareness in the area.
Authorities have not indicated whether charges will be filed, and the investigation remains active.
We extend our sincere hopes for a full and swift recovery for the child and offer support to the family during this difficult time.
Pedestrian and Stroller-Involved Collisions in Boulder
Crashes involving pedestrians—especially those pushing strollers—are among the most devastating due to the vulnerability of those affected. In this incident, the child sustained injuries while in a stroller, a heartbreaking outcome that underscores the importance of vigilance at intersections, even in quieter residential zones like 6th St and Pine.
Though the driver in this case remained at the scene and did not flee, the severity of a vehicle striking a stroller cannot be understated. Infants and young children are especially susceptible to head and neck injuries in such scenarios, which may not present clear symptoms immediately. Prompt medical evaluation is critical in these cases, even if the child appears calm or uninjured at first.
Pedestrian safety continues to be a key concern in Boulder, where walkability is encouraged, and family foot traffic is frequent. Incidents like this highlight the need for better infrastructure—such as extended crossing times, raised crosswalks, and stricter enforcement of right-of-way laws—to ensure the safety of all roadway users, including the youngest among us.
This accident also reinforces the importance of community engagement. Witnesses, neighbors, or passersby who saw what occurred can provide valuable insight into how the collision happened. Their statements may support both the investigation and the family’s access to proper care and resources.
