GREENLAND — Physicians at Boston Children's Hospital upgraded 11-year-old Katie Tucker's status to fair condition Thursday, two days after she was struck by a pickup truck on Post Road.
A hospital spokesperson confirmed late Thursday that the sixth grader remained in the intensive care unit, but had been upgraded from serious to fair condition.
Tucker, the daughter of State Rep. Pamela Tucker, R-Greenland, was seriously injured after being struck by a blue GMC Canyon pickup truck around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Police have said the driver was "very upset" and cooperative following the accident and speed, alcohol or drugs do not appear to have been factors. Authorities say the investigation continues, but they do not expect filing charges against the unidentified driver.
A student at Greenland Central School, Tucker has been in the Boston hospital's intensive care unit since Tuesday evening. Her condition has improved steadily.
Witness reports indicate Tucker was struck by the pickup truck while trying to cross Post Road, also known as Route 151.
