The collision happened at the intersection of Indian Trace and Saddle Club Road, where Cody and two other children were crossing, Carter said.
Witnesses said the children seemed distracted and might not have realized that westbound traffic on Saddle Club Road — which had a green light and included the Nissan — was approaching, according to the sheriff's office.
Driver Solcireet Sahie Santiso-Lopez, 35, of Weston, tried to stop the Nissan but could not, the agency said.
