An Elmore County student is recovering after being struck on Chapman road in Millbrook Wednesday morning.

“A Millbrook Middle School student was hit by a car walking to school,” Elmore County Schools superintendent Richard Dennis said. “He was able to stand and walk but was limping. He was transported by ambulance to a Montgomery area hospital.”

Dennis said the student was crossing Chapman Road near Main Street when a car was turning from Main Street onto Chapman Road.

“The driver didn’t see him,” Dennis said. “It shook the driver up to.”

Dennis said the student has a concussion and bruises and road rash on an arm.

“There was no internal bleeding,” Dennis said. “He will be home under observation for the next few days.”

Dennis said the student was discharged from the emergency room just after lunch.
