ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A 6-year-old northern Virginia boy is in critical condition after being hit by a FedEx truck.
Police say the boy was playing on a scooter in the driveway of his home in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County when he rode into the street just after 5 p.m. Wednesday. That’s when the truck hit him.
The boy was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and is fighting for his life.

FedEx officials say their thoughts and prayers are with the boy and his family.
