RICHMOND, Calif. - A 1-year-old boy was fatally struck by a vehicle in Richmond on Sunday, and the driver was arrested shortly after, police said.

When they arrived, officers found that the boy had been hit by a car traveling east on Cutting Boulevard, Stonebraker said. He was taken to the hospital, but died later of his injuries, Stonebraker said.
