The man driving the Cadillac, 41-year-old Jeffrey Brinson, was taken to the trauma center after suffering a critical leg injury. His condition Wednesday is also unknown.
The family of the three-year-old boy still can't come to terms with the split second accident that took the boy's life.
"I didn't believe it until I saw him that he was gone," said Kloni Matthews, Kayden's cousin.
Witnesses said Kierra Lee held her brother in her lap as she cried out for help.
"She was hysterical, she was screaming, hollering, crying, asking people what should she do what should she do," said Plez.
Kayden was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police say the boy's father works at the hospital and found out about the accident as his son was being rushed into the emergency room.
