SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 1, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — A juvenile was transported to an area hospital after being hit by a car in Salt Lake City Sunday afternoon.

The incident occurred when several juveniles were crossing 2100 South at 900 East at approximately 4 p.m., the Salt Lake City Police Department said in a news release.

“Most of the juveniles were in the crosswalk, however one of the kids was outside of the crosswalk and was struck by a vehicle,” the news release said. “The driver stated they had been unable to see the victim around a large truck which had stopped for the juveniles.”
