According to Beaubien, traffic was at a crawling pace when a 14-year-old male student crossed Richview at Dewitt Drive, which is not the location of a crosswalk or a crossing guard. An SUV was traveling slowly down the continuous left turn lane towards the entrance to the Crow Recreation Center when the student ran out into the roadway.
The preliminary investigation shows the passenger side-view mirror of the SUV clipped the student, who received minor injuries. He was treated at the scene by Montgomery County Emergency Medical Services and transported to Sango ER as a precaution.
FACT Investigator Creighton is still at the scene conducting an investigation regarding this incident. Anyone with information or additional video footage is asked to please contact FACT Investigator Creighton at 931-648-0656, ext. 5367.
