A 12-year-old boy is in stable condition after he was struck by a vehicle near Wheeling High School on Tuesday, police said.
The boy was in a crosswalk at the intersection of Hintz Road and Sherwood Drive when a westbound vehicle driven by a 17-year-old struck him about 3:20 p.m., Wheeling Deputy Chief Todd Wolff said Wednesday.
The boy was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Wolff said.
