Children Struck by Car in Gates Parking Lot On the Mend

There's some good news about the two young children who became trapped under a car while riding in a wagon in Gates. Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode says Liliana McDonald has been taken off a ventilator although she remains in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Golisano Children's Hospital.

Her brother, Luke, is out of intensive care and has been moved into a private room.

Both children were being towed across a parking lot by their father in a wagon -- when a car went off the road and hit them. Both were seriously injured.

Chief VanBrederode says the McDonald Family would like to thank everyone for their prayers, acts of kindness and financial support.

The Gates Police continue to take donations for the family at their offices on Buffalo Rd. Checks can be made out to Gates Chili Community Connections.
