A nine-year old boy was injured after being struck by a vehicle Monday night on South Virginia Street.

A collision report from Hopkinsville police says nine-year-old Kaleb Cortez of Hopkinsville was walking southbound on South Virginia near 24th Street and he attempted to flag down a southbound pickup driven by 38-year old Rebecca Kimble of Hopkinsville to ask her if she had seen a missing juvenile.

Cortez was struck by Kimble’s truck and sustained leg and arm injuries.

He was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
