A 2-year-old boy was struck by a car Wednesday morning in Norfolk and transported by medflight to a Boston hospital, according to police.
Norfolk police said the crash occurred around 8:27 a.m. at the intersection of Grove Street and Strawberry Lane. First responders found the 26-month-old boy conscious and alert, lying on the side of the road, with both his parents at the scene, according to police.
