A 7-year-girl was taken to University of Kentucky Hospital after she was struck by a pickup in Danville, and the driver was charged with driving under the influence, Danville police said.

Shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday, Ravyn McKitric was trying to cross Wilderness Road in front of her house when she was hit by a blue Dodge Dakota. The driver, Jerry Curtis, 55, of Danville, was also charged with having an open container in the vehicle in addition to DUI, police said.

Ravyn initially was taken to Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville and was later transferred to UK. Her updated condition was not immediately available Friday morning.

Curtis was released from the Boyle County jail Thursday night after a $300 bond was posted. He will be arraigned in Boyle District Court within the next couple of weeks.
