An 11-year-old girl was taken to the hospital this morning after being struck by a car on Palomino Lane in front of Howard Wasden Elementary School, police said.

The girl was taken to University Medical Center with a possible broken leg, Morgan said.

Police spokesman Jay Rivera said the driver of the white Honda has been cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
