Come on...your bias is showing! "SUV" strikes boy... Would he be any less hurt if he were to have been hit by a Mini-Cooper going 45 miles per hour? I think not.

I do not drive a SUV, but I am tired of people in the media bashing those who do. Next time, just report the story. Leave the political statement for discussions over a beer with your colleagues.

A 7-year-old boy was rushed to Riverside Regional Medical Center with a head injury Thursday evening after a sport utility vehicle hit him.

Raquan Lewis, of the 400 block of Cox Landing, along with his brother and a third boy, were attempting to cross Warwick Boulevard at Thorncliff Drive around 6:45 p.m. when the accident occurred, police spokesman Lou Thurston said.

The three boys had crossed the southbound lane and were standing on the median of Warwick. While the other two boys waited on the median, Raquan continued into the northbound lane and into the path of an oncoming 2002 Ford Explorer.

I don't know if you're referring to the headline or the article itself. I report information the police give me, but I don't write headlines. Politics aren't involved here. Basic physics are, though: force = mass x acceleration.

Thanks for your input.
