MIDDLETON - A 13-year-old girl has serious injuries after she was hit by a car in the driveway of a home in Middleton Monday afternoon. It happened at about 2:20 p.m. on Meadowlark Farm Lane.
The girl has life-threatening injuries and is currently being treated at Lawrence General Hospital.
Police have not yet said who was driving the car that hit the girl.
Middleton Police Captain Matthew Armitage said it was a tough scene to respond to. "It's very difficult," Armitage said.

A Middleton Police officer injured their leg while responding the incident.
The crash remains under investigation.
