Hulett’s Son, 6, Dies After Being Hit by Car
The 6-year-old son of Baltimore Oriole utility infielder Tim Hulett died Thursday from injuries sustained when hit by a car.
Sam Hulett of Cockeysville, Md., was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m., less than 24 hours after the accident.
Charles Paidas, the boy’s attending physician, said the boy died from “massive and irreversible brain injuries.”
According to hospital spokeswoman Lynn Cook, the parents requested that the body be evaluated for organ donation. Those tests were performed Thursday evening, Cook said.
Cook said Tim and Linda Hulett were at the hospital all day and left at 5 p.m. to tell their three boys of Sam’s death.
Sam Hulett was returning home from a play area about 3 p.m. Wednesday with his three brothers when he was struck by a car driven by Linda Blair, 30, of Upperco, Md., police spokesman Jay Miller said.
Blair wasn’t charged in the accident, Miller said.
Witnesses told police that one of the older boys yelled “don’t go” just before the boy stepped into the street, Miller said.
