Police say that two kids were riding their bikes and crossing through the intersection when a 59-year-old Odenton man accidentally hit one of them.

The child had to be airlifted to the Johns Hopkins Pediatric Trauma Center in Baltimore for treatment of what were described as critical injuries.

His condition was not available on Wednesday morning.

Neither the other child nor the pick-up truck driver suffered any injuries.
