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. 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, and alcohol does not appear to be a factor,’ the officer said. According to police: 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. Other details are not available because the pedestrian-car collision remains under investigation.
There was also 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. One officer rendered aid, while 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.
