SYRACUSE, Utah, April 17, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — A 15-year-old boy was in the crosswalk in front of Syracuse Junior High School when he was hit by two vehicles Monday night.
Syracuse Police Detective Erin Behm told Gephardt Daily the boy was airlifted to the hospital. Although Behm didn’t have immediate information on the boy’s condition, it was later confirmed that he was in critical condition.
According to a news release from Syracuse Police, the accident happened at 8:30 p.m. in front of the junior high on 2000 West.

Both drivers stayed at the scene and are cooperating with the investigation.
