A 16-year-old boy from Vermilion, Ohio, has suffered some bleeding on his brain after being hit by a drunk driver Tuesday evening, authorities said. His mother said he has been groggy, and doctors consider his brain trauma their foremost concern.

Police said the boy was walking with a friend when a van ran off the side of the road and hit him. The van hit several other objects before coming to a stop, authorities said. As of Wednesday, the boy was listed in fair condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. His mother said that in addition to the brain injury, the boy had some scrapes and bruises, and a steel rod had been installed in his broken femur.
