A 14-year-old was hit by a vehicle at the intersection of Lafayette Drive and Laboratory Road on Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The crash occurred at about 7:47 a.m. Tuesday, the Oak Ridge Police Department said.
The boy was crossing Lafayette Drive on foot when he was struck by a northbound vehicle, the ORPD said in a statement. The teen was transported to Methodist Medical Center for treatment of minor head injuries.
The driver of the vehicle was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
More information will be added as it becomes available.

I wish we could do something to slow down drivers in our city. But it would be prohibitively expensive to hire the number of police officers required to do so.
Hey, I know. Let’s use current technology and install traffic-enforcement cameras.
