A 15-year-old Kingston girl was seriously injured when she was hit by a pickup truck this morning, police said.

The Kingston police and fire departments responded around 7 a.m. to the accident in the area near Wilder Road, Sergeant Zachary Potrykus said.

The girl was still underneath the 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup truck driven by Ryan Lynch, 17, also of Kingston, when rescuers arrived, he said.

Lynch is facing charges, but they have not been determined yet, according to Potrykus. The victim was taken by helicopter to Boston Medical Center, according to the Fire Department, but her condition was not available last night.

Witnesses told police the girl was struck while trying to cross a street.
