The Kansas Highway Patrol says a young boy died when he was hit by a vehicle in front of an elementary school in Liberal.
The patrol says Nathaniel Garro Rivera, 5, was in a crosswalk in front of Prairie View Elementary School Wednesday when the driver of a pickup truck made a turn and struck him. Nathaniel was a kindergartner at the school.
Liberal Public Schools officials said in a news release the district was "overcome with grief at this devastating accident" and would be providing counselors for those affected.
