TEEN CROSSING STREET HIT BY CAR IN ST. PAUL
A 14-year-old boy was hit by a car while walking in St. Paul Sunday evening. Although he was not killed, the boy is now in critical condition. Our St. Paul car accident lawyers handle cases like this every day. A St. Paul police spokesman said the collision occurred about 7:21 p.m. at Cretin and Carroll Avenues. “The driver of the striking vehicle is cooperative. Also, alcohol does not appear to be a factor,” the officer said. Apparently, the teenager stepped off a Metro Transit bus and was crossing the street on Cretin in St. Paul when he was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound.
Police and fire responded, and transported the boy to Regions Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
In addition, there was a fatal pedestrian accident at E. 7th Street and Payne Avenue in St. Paul last week. Officers were on patrol when they witnessed a vehicle striking a man about 2 a.m. on Nov. 7. While one officer rendered aid, the other pursued and caught up with the driver, a 24-year-old St. Paul man. However, as of early Monday afternoon, he had not been charged.
