EAGLE MOUNTAIN — A 16-year-old was transported to Primary Children's Hospital in critical condition after being struck by a car while riding a bicycle Saturday.

The victim was then airlifted to the hospital.
His friend didn't sustain any injuries, Collet said.
The area was closed to traffic for two hours after the accident.
