ST. PAUL TEENAGER HIT BY CAR IN CROSSWALK – HAD GREEN LIGHT – ATTORNEYS SUE DISTRACTED DRIVER
A recent Star Tribune article reported that a teenage boy was struck by a car Thursday morning as he crossed a busy St. Paul intersection. Not surprisingly, he was severely injured. The collision occurred at Maryland Avenue and Dale Street in St. Paul MN, according to a police spokesman. The 15-year-old was taken to Regions Hospital and remained in critical condition as of late Thursday. The pedestrian boy had the green light and was hit while crossing the road intersection. This is the tragic type of situation our lawyers have frequently seen during our 25 years of practice.
Police said the boy, who attends nearby Como Park High School in St. Paul, suffered internal injuries from being hit while crossing the street.
A witness noticed the commotion and went to investigate. She found the boy under a car that stopped in mid-turn on Dale, just south of Maryland. “I ran over and just tried to keep him calm,” the witness said. “He was conscious but not all there. In fact, I don’t think he knew what hit him.” The boy had blood around his temples and above his eyes. Also, his legs, which were under the bus but not pinned down, looked “broken, crushed,” the witness said.
Another Saint Paul woman who stopped a few hours after the collision said she had come from Como Park High School, which was “chaotic.” She said that the boy was her son’s friend, and they were on the school’s robotics team together.
