Our heart goes out to the family of a 4-year old boy, who was hit by a car and critically injured on the evening of Monday, August 31. According to ONSCENE.TV, a vehicle was traveling at about 25 mph when it struck the child, sending the boy into the air. The 4-year old was airlifted to Children's Hospital in San Diego where he remains in critical condition.

Authorities are investigating the collision, which occurred at about 6:45 p.m. The child sustained a severe head injury, but the police did not release any additional information.
