Cape Coral, FL (April 8, 2019) - A teen was injured after being struck by a vehicle while walking to school on Monday, April 8th. The crash took place at the intersection of Burnt Store Road and NW 9th Terrace.
The student, who was identified only as a 15-year-old boy, was walking to Mariner High School when the collision occurred. The teen's mother reported that it was still dark outside when her child was struck. The student was reportedly unconscious and had injuries to his face. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment but there was no update on his condition. Police have not released any details regarding the nature or cause of the crash.
There is no word on whether any charges are expected against the driver.
Our thoughts are with the injured student in this crash and we hope for his complete recovery. Over 250,000 injury accidents take place each year in our state. Several of these accidents will involve children. Child safety is a top priority on the roadways and should always be taken seriously by those who are traveling in areas where children are present.
In this crash, police will investigate both the actions of the driver and the student in an effort to determine who should be legally responsible for the accident.
