A student was injured Monday morning after being sideswiped by a car outside Raytown High School.

Officers responded around 7:05 a.m. to the high school at 6019 Blue Ridge Boulevard after a student pulling into the parking lot clipped another student who was on foot, said Capt. Dyon Harper, a spokesman for the Raytown Police Department.

The student was taken to the hospital with a leg injury that police did not believe to be life-threatening.

Harper said there were no indications of impairment by alcohol or drugs and no arrests were made.

Both students’ parents were on scene before officers left.
