A woman and her baby were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries after being struck by a tan minivan in a Framingham crosswalk on Tuesday at 11:30 AM. The police indicated that the woman was pushing the stroller when the vehicle made a left turn and hit them at Waverly and Hollis streets. Surveillance footage revealed the woman entering the intersection just before the crash. The driver, who remained at the scene, received a citation for a crosswalk violation. Both victims were transported to Boston area hospitals for treatment.
