Boy seriously hurt when struck by car near South Side school

An eighth-grader was seriously injured this afternoon when he was struck by a car near Wrightwood School on the South Side.
The 13-year-old boy was walking toward the bus stop from the grade school in the 7900 block of South California Avenue when he stepped into the street shortly before 2:30 p.m. , according to a friend, Brian Dockery Jr., 12.
The boy was hit by a quickly approaching car and landed on the windshield, Brian said. A man and woman were in the car, Brian said.
 “She stopped right away,”Brian said. “He wound up on the street. It pushed him and he landed on the windshield and flew up and then landed on the street.”
The boy suffered head and leg injuries and was taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

The driver remained on the scene and was being questioned by police
