Port St. Lucie police say a 14-year-old who was struck by a car on his way to school yesterday remains hospitalized. <\/p>\n
The freshman from Treasure Coast High School is in critical condition at a pediatric intensive care unit. Cops are still investigating the crash that happened along Port St. Lucie Boulevard around 6 a.m. <\/p>\n
