PLEASANT GROVE, Utah – A 12-year-old boy was killed Monday after a truck struck him while he crossed a road.
The boy was in a crosswalk near the corner of State Street and Pleasant Grove Boulevard at around 6 p.m. when the large construction truck turned right and hit him, according to Pleasant Grove Police Capt. Britt Smith.
