CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two boys were hurt Saturday afternoon when they were struck by a car driven by a motorist who might have been on a cell phone at the time.

The driver stopped after hitting the boys.
Witnesses on the scene told police the motorist was on a cell phone, police said. He is being interviewed by police, and may face citations for that.
