LEHI, Utah (AP) — Police in Lehi say two young boys are hospitalized after being struck by a vehicle in an intersection as they were heading to a church function.

They say the boys are brothers, ages 8 and 11.

Police say the two were waved into the intersection by another vehicle, but were hit by an SUV that was moving at a low rate of speed from a stop.

The SUV driver stopped to help and remained on the scene to speak with police.
