An 11-year-old girl was hospitalized after she was struck by a vehicle near a middle school in Winter Garden on Wednesday evening, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
In a release, troopers said the incident happened as the girl was walking southbound on the sidewalk along Tiny Road, south of Bridgewater Crossings Boulevard.
