Two boys were hit by a car Wednesday morning while riding their bicycles to school in east Orange County, troopers say.
The crash happened just before 8 a.m. on Alafaya Club Drive at Lokanotosa Trail.
Troopers said the boys, ages 8 and 5, were headed to a nearby elementary school and crossing the road when they were struck by a red Nissan Maxima.
The children weren’t wearing helmets and received minor injuries, Trooper Steven Montiero said. Their mother took them to a hospital for treatment. It’s unclear what school the boys attend.
Monteiro said speed doesn’t appear to be a factor in the crash and the driver stayed at the scene.
Troopers were blocking traffic in the area while investigating.
