Boy, 13, in critical condition after being struck by car in crosswalk near Schofield
A 13-year-old boy is in critical condition after he was hit by a SUV while in a marked crosswalk at Schofield Barracks this morning, according to Emergency Medical Services.
EMS responded at about 7:30 a.m. today to the intersection of Lyman and Kunia roads and treated the teen for multiple head and chest injuries. He was taken to The Queen’s Medical Center. The 37-year-old male driver was not injured.
The Honolulu Police Department said the juvenile was in a marked crosswalk at the time, but it is believed that the SUV had the right of way.
Schofield closed its Lyman and Kunia gates after the collision but reopened them around 9 a.m.
Speed, alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the collision.
