Officials say a boy, believed to be 11 years old, was struck and killed by a semi Wednesday afternoon in an apparent hit-and-run in Whiting, Ind.

Police said two brothers were walking home from school when the younger brother attempted to cross a street near 119th Street and Indianapolis Boulevard.

The older brother said he tried to stop his younger brother, later identified as Angel Villafuerte, but the younger brother was hit by a semi, which witnesses say did not stop.
