WASHINGTON — A child was struck by a minivan Tuesday morning near a charter school in the District’s Brookland neighborhood.

The collision happened just after 8 a.m., near the intersection of 20th Street and Quincy Street, according to D.C. Fire and EMS.

The child was taken to a hospital. Fire officials did not provide the child’s age nor say whether it was a boy or girl who was hurt. The child was in “possibly serious” condition but was expected to survive, fire officials said.

The child was struck about a block from Perry Street Prep, a public charter school.
