? A 3-year-old boy was killed Tuesday night when he was struck by a car in a parking lot in Jefferson County, according to Kansas Highway Patrol officials.

Highway Patrol troopers responded to a call in the parking lot of Rumors restaurant, 7247 Village Drive, just outside of Ozawkie, around 7:30 p.m. When they arrived, they found the 3-year-old in very critical condition, officials said.

The child was taken by air ambulance to a Topeka hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The child’s name was also unavailable as officials waited to inform immediate family members.
