Lucky kid and good for the driver for staying at least. I live near that intersection, and occasionally walk or ride my bike over there. It's scary as hell for an adult, let alone a kid.

Actually, the child did get injured, although not very seriously and the driver initially did not stop. Another parent had to chase the car to get the driver to stop.

Ok, that's a completely different story. Very glad the kid is doing ok. And I stand by, that's a really dangerous intersection.
