It happened about 5 p.m. today outside a home in the Preston Village subdivision, town officials said Wednesday evening.

Cary Police Sgt. Steve Wilkins says the boy was riding his bicycle on Conagra Court when he was struck by a Honda CRV. He declined to identify the boy.

Wilkins said the collision occurred as the driver, who lives near the accident site, attempted to avoid the boy and several other children riding their bicycles in a cul-de-sac.

The child, who lives on nearby Circle on the Green, was transported to a hospital in Apex with minor injuries.

"It just skinned him up a little bit," Wilkins said. "He'll be fine."

He said police would not charge the driver.
