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. "We all have children in our lives so it's difficult for all involved parties to react to that. We're thinking about the family, but also the people who worked the scene as well."

A Middleton Police officer injured their leg while responding the incident.

The crash remains under investigation.
