Benjamin remains in critical condition

Posted: Saturday, August 15, 2009

Benjamin Castro, the 4-year-old Brainerd boy severely injured after being hit by a vehicle Tuesday, remained in critical condition Saturday at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale.

Benjamin suffered head injuries after riding his bike into the oncoming path of a sport-utility vehicle driven by Jim Pryor, 67, on Russell Road off Riverside Drive in northwest Brainerd.

A CaringBridge Web site has been set up for Benjamin at www.caringbridge.org/visit/bennycastro. A fund, called Benefit for Benny, also has been set up for the Castro family at Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union.
