An accident in the parking lot of the Woodward-Granger High School, Monday, claimed the life of a 7-year old boy from Bouton. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at around 3:42-p.m., as a 2019 GMC Denali, driven by a 47-year-old from Perry, was traveling northbound in the parking lot.

According to the report, the second grade child “victim traveled in front of the vehicle and impacted the front passenger side.” The SUV then ran over the child before coming to a complete stop. The victim suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Additional information, including the names of those involved was being withheld by authorities, pending completion of the investigation and notification of family.

Woodward Police and Fire assisted at the scene.
