The collision took place on Brookfield Drive at Franklin Boulevard right around 10:15 p.m., according to authorities, and involved a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit vehicle.
The boy was walking down a sidewalk with an adult on Saturday night as a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy K9 vehicle was heading north on Franklin.
