On Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at approximately 6:24 p.m. the City of Fond du Lac Police Department along with the City of Fond du Lac Fire/Rescue responded to the 300 block of Grove Street for a report of a child who was struck by a vehicle.
The investigation into this accident is at the preliminary stages. Initial information provided leads FDLPD Officers to believe that a 6-year-old Fond du Lac child rode his bicycle into the street when he was stuck by a vehicle that was traveling westbound on Grove Street. A 41-year-old North Fond du Lac resident was operating the vehicle.
The 6-year-old child was transported to SSM Health (St. Agnes Hospital) by Fire/Rescue with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle received no injuries from the accident and is cooperating with law enforcement.
It is with deep sadness that we learned that the 6-year-old child died while at the hospital from injuries he sustained after being struck by a vehicle. Please join the FDLPD and Fond du Lac School District in keeping his family and friends in your thoughts during this most difficult time.
The Wisconsin State Patrol is assisting FDLPD by conducting an accident reconstruction at the scene. Grove Street between S. Hickory Street and Superior Street will remain closed during the accident reconstruction.
