A 12-year-old boy was taken to the hospital after his foot was run over by a car rushing through an intersection.
Children walking home from school Thursday were using a crosswalk at 400 North and State Route 51 in Spanish Fork when an eastbound vehicle ran over the boy’s foot.
Sgt. Chris Sheriff of the Spanish Fork police said a crossing guard was walking into the street to stop traffic when the 40-year-old driver apparently tried to rush past before the pedestrians entered the crosswalk.
The boy ran in front of the crossing guard and was hit, Sheriff said.
