Summary

  • The teen is in critical condition after a car hit him as he crossed the southbound carpool lane.

Timeline

The wreck forced several lanes shut on the inbound, southbound Diamond Lane of I-45 North just past Louetta Road, and authorities told drivers to steer clear while they worked the scene, KPRC reported. No one has been charged, and investigators are still looking into what happened.

Two teens had dashed across the North Freeway around the Louetta and Cypresswood stretch and cleared the main lanes, but one of them was caught by a vehicle as he tried to get across the HOV lane, the sheriff's office told the station. The driver pulled over and waited for help, and paramedics rushed the wounded boy to a hospital in critical shape, according to KPRC.

A 16-year-old is fighting for his life after being hit by a car Friday as he ran across a carpool lane on Interstate 45 in Spring, KPRC reported, citing Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

Damn why would you try to run across I-45? I pray the boy pulls through I imagine the vehicle was going pretty fast hopefully he was able to slow down enough before.
