The driver of a vehicle that police said struck and injured a child near the Georgia Dome after Sunday’s Falcons game has been charged with driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.
The 5-year-old child was taken to a local hospital in stable condition after the accident, which happened Sunday evening at the intersection of Northside Drive and Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said the vehicle that hit the child was stopped a short distance from the incident scene and the driver arrested.
That driver’s name, and the name of the injured child, have not been released.
