SCRANTON, Pa. — Update:
Police taped off a section of Dorothy Street in Scranton's Tripp Park section just after the accident on Thursday morning.
When Newswatch 16 arrived at the scene, two-year-old Kayden Zvolensky had already been taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Officers were particularly interested in two vehicles.
One was parked on the street.
The other was parked in the driveway of one of the homes.
Investigators took pictures of both.
But it's unclear if either was involved in the deadly accident.
Police have also not said who might have been driving.
Ultimately, both vehicles were towed away by investigators.
This scene is not far from Isaac Tripp Elementary School, and even though a lot of children walk these streets, neighbors say drivers don't always slow down.
"A lot of times yeah, unfortunately. Because with the school and everything, it just makes it a little more prevalent, I guess. I looked out my bedroom first, and all I saw was cars, and the neighbor was sitting on the ground. The ambulance was right in front of the house," said Justin Peters of Scranton.
