SAN DIEGO _ A boy wandering alone on an Interstate 15 off-ramp was hit by a truck and suffered serious injuries in City Heights early Tuesday, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
The crash happened on the University Avenue off-ramp minutes after midnight.
The driver of the truck stopped after the crash and likely assisted the child until paramedics arrived and took him to Rady Children's Hospital, CHP Officer Tommy Doerr said.
The boy's injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
The driver was not suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs and cooperated with CHP officers.
