PHOENIX – A child in Phoenix was hospitalized in critical condition after he was hit by a car Monday night, first responders said.

The 11-year-old boy was pinned under the car after the collision near 48th Street and Broadway Road, the Phoenix Fire Department said in an email.

Crews reached the scene, freed him, then treated him with “advanced life-support measures,” Capt. Scott Douglas said.

The boy was taken to a trauma center.

ABC15 reported that the Phoenix Police Department said the car may have backed into the boy while he was playing.

No other details were made available.
