NORTH BEND, Ore. -- A teenager was hospitalized Tuesday night after he was struck by a vehicle in North Bend, police said.
Police said the 14-year-old was attempting to cross five lanes of traffic at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and Marion Street just before 6 p.m.
The boy was headed north and crossed in front of a Curry Coastal transit bus stopped in the left turn lane when a vehicle headed westbound on Virginia Avenue hit him.
