At 6:07 p.m., police were called to an injury crash in the 4900 block of North Fessenden Street. Once on scene, police learned the kids were playing nearby when they ran in between two parked cars on North Fessenden Street into traffic and were struck by a car traveling westbound, police said.
The 3-year-old had life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital. Their status is not known at this time, police said. The other child was treated at the scene.
