The girl was taken to a hospital for treatment and is now in stable condition after suffering several fractures.
Neighbors say they're heartbroken to hear what happened and that that stretch of road can be dangerous.
"This is a pretty busy road," says Anton Cutul, a Yonkers resident. "There's a speed limit but you see people sometimes go 50 mph."
Some parents say this raises major concerns for them.
"It's crazy because my daughter also comes home from the same road. The school bus drops her off so to hear something like that, it's terrible," says Jason Figueroa, a Yonkers resident.
