Asix-year-old Ukrainian refugee boy who was hit by a car on Wednesday afternoon while crossing a pedestrian crossing in Santa Maria di Sala near Venice, has died in a Padua hospital, medical sources said Friday.
The boy, like his mother, was a Ukrainian refugee who fled the war in his country and was staying with other Ukrainian families in a former rectory.
The child, who was thrown from the car several meters away, was in critical condition.
Yesterday, the Gazzettino reports, the boy was declared brain dead, and he died that evening.
