RACINE — A seven-year-old Racine boy suffered a serious leg injury Thursday morning after being dragged by his parents’ car outside St. Lucy’s School.

The father of the child was dropping him off at school. After letting his two children out of the car, he began to drive away. The clothing of his seven-year-old son was caught on the vehicle. The boy was dragged.

Witnesses caught the attention of the father who stopped his car on Carpenter Ave.

The Racine Fire Department responded and took the boy to Wheaton Franciscan-All Saint Emergency Room.

The boy’s injuries are serious but not life-threatening.

Crews in Racine spent Wednesday taking down several street lights! It's a measure meant to save money, but some residents are trying to stop it, citing safety concerns.

Candice Gloede is one of many Racine residents who have signed a petition to stop the removal of street lights. Her block alone is set to lose two street lights, and she feels this is unacceptable. "When the bar's full on Friday and Saturday nights, and there's tons and tons of cars on the street, more break-ins, more kids getting injured. It just doesn't make any sense to me," Gloede said.
