In Freehold, a woman and her two children are being treated for injuries after being hit by an out-of-control SUV at a preschool.

The crashed happened on Friday at the front door of the Bloom Academy.

Patrice Pisani says she was leaving Bloom Academy at around 3 p.m. with her two sons when a gray SUV being driven by another parent picking a child slams into them.

Pisani’s youngest son took the brunt of the impact as surveillance video from the school shows the tire bounce on top of his leg.

She says her son is being treated for a leg injury and burns from the undercarriage of the car.

The owner of Bloom Academy, Jill Howard, offered the following statement:

“We are deeply saddened by this incident. While we are grateful that the injury was not more severe, we remain committed to the safety and well-being of our students, families, and staff.”
