A 7-year-old boy is in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle Sunday afternoon near Warsaw. Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department deputies and emergency personnel responded Sunday at 1:20 p.m. to 761 S. Warbler Lane, Warsaw, in regards to a report of a child that had been struck by a vehicle, according to a KCSD press release. Arriving emergency responders from Lutheran Kosciusko EMS immediately loaded the boy into their ambulance and transported the child with police escort to Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne, in critical condition, the release states. A preliminary investigation into the incident by deputies indicated that a Tammy Honeycutt, 44, who resides at the residence with the child and her mother, had gotten into her 2002 Dodge van to leave the mobile home park. Honeycutt believed that the child was still inside the residence in a back bedroom, but subsequently struck the male as she was just beginning to pull the van forward. The name of the child and mother are not currently being released at this time, according to the release. The incident is still under investigation.
