A 4-year-old boy was struck and killed by a vehicle shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday on Stevenson Avenue in West End Alexandria.
The boy was walking alongside the road with his mother when he broke free and ran, said Alexandria police spokeswoman Ashley Hildebrandt.
"The 4-year-old ran into the street," she said. "The mother ran after him."
An 84-year-old man was driving a 2010 Jeep Commander eastbound on Stevenson Avenue when the boy ran into the street, police found in their preliminary investigation. The boy’s mother ran after him, and both were struck by the Jeep, according to a news release.
The mother and son were taken to INOVA Fairfax Hospital, where the boy was pronounced dead. The mother sustained non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The driver remained on the scene.
Police have not yet released the boy's identity.
The boy's death occurred in the 6300 block of Stevenson Avenue, near its intersection with Yoakum Parkway. Members of the police Crash Reconstruction Team are investigating.
Authorities are asking anyone who was in the area Saturday morning or who might have witnessed the crash to call the Alexandria Police Department at 703-746-4444.

Alexandria Police ID Boy Struck, Killed in Crash
Jacob Choi ran into the street May 4 on Stevenson Avenue.

Alexandria police have released the name of the 4-year-old boy who was struck and killed May 4 when he ran into the street and in front of an oncoming SUV.
Police identified the boy as Jacob Choi. The crash occurred on Stevenson Avenue, in West End Alexandria. Police spokesman Jody Donaldson said the boy and his family live in the immediate area but could not provide an exact address.
Jacob was walking alongside the road with his mother when he broke free and ran, police said. A group of the boy’s family members were at the scene, and Jacob's mother, who was holding another young child in the family, ran after Jacob and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The child in her arms was not injured, Donaldson said.
Police say they still don’t know why Jacob ran into the street. They are not yet releasing the mother’s name because she is a witness who has not yet been interviewed by police due to her need to make funeral arrangements, Donaldson said.
Speed was not determined to be a factor in the crash, and the 84-year-old driver of the Jeep SUV faces no criminal charges.
The crash remains under investigation.
