GARDEN GROVE, CA —As a storm rolled through north and inland Orange County, a 15-year-old boy was struck by a car and taken to a Garden Grove area hospital Wednesday morning, police say.

"Garden Grove police have closed Garden Grove Boulevard from Cypress to Century during an investigation of the cause of the collision," according to the spokesperson for the department.

The driver remained at the scene and "has been cooperative," the department said.

According to the Garden Grove Fire Department, the boy's injuries were not considered life-threatening. Paramedics took him to an area hospital as a precaution.
